What would I do in the Building Construction class? ● ● Students learn and practice workplace safety standards. Explore the following construction trades: HVAC, painting, plumbing, roofing, electrical, carpentry-finishing, carpentry-framing, and insulating. Storage buildings- New students normally start with building storage buildings. This is a great way to learn about basic framing, siding, and roofing. School projects- Every year we work on different projects that support our school. Past projects include: restriping crosswalks, building a chicken coop, dugout benches, and a portable concession stand. Tiny House project - Once students have mastered safety and tool standards they will be able to participate the Tiny House Project. We build Tiny Houses that are inspected, certified, and sold. This is a fun and exciting way to learn with a hands on approach. Skills learned while building the tiny houses include: carpentry, plumbing, electrical, roofing, flooring, and painting.
