Description |
Building simple, decent and affordable houses lies at the heart of the Habitat for Humanity movement. But learning the art of residential design and construction is a major undertaking for those new to the field. Fortunately, experts in the homebuilding craft are willing to step forward to guide and direct the majority of our efforts. These courses will familiarize you with the basic practices and terminology of homebuilding. |
Audience |
The Residential Construction Basics courses are designed for affiliate volunteers, homeowners, construction/building committee members, staff, board members and affiliate support staff. They provide a basic orientation to residential construction by familiarizing those unaccustomed to house-building terminology and processes. Such an orientation can make on-site construction experiences more fulfilling. |
