Level 01 — Entry
Turn Key
Our basic program makes it easier for nonprofits to complete small projects, usually involving only one trade.
Three ways we build
Project levels
Every nonprofit's need is different, so our charitable construction program comes in three tiers, from a single-trade fix to a multi-year build.
Level 02 — Mid
Classic
More comprehensive than Turn Key: higher-valued, multi-trade initiatives that run over a longer duration.
Level 03 — Flagship
Marquee
Our top-tier projects carry more visibility and complexity, and sometimes span a year or two from start to finish.
Start to finish
The charitable construction process
A typical project moves through these stages. HBCF stays involved at every step, serving as the liaison between the nonprofit and the builders.
STEP 01
Nonprofits submit an inquiry and application for assistance.
STEP 02
Staff and committees assess the potential project.
STEP 03
A site visit takes place during the assessment.
STEP 04
Pre-development technical assistance is provided as needed.
STEP 05
Scope of work and budget estimates are created.
STEP 06
Building industry members are recruited for the work.
STEP 07
Board approval leads to a Project Captain assignment.
STEP 08
Donated labor, materials, and services are secured.
STEP 09
Construction agreements are established.
STEP 10
HBCF serves as liaison between the agency and builders.
STEP 11
Project management and administrative support are provided.
STEP 12
The project and its volunteer efforts are celebrated and shared.
Built to flex
No two nonprofits are alike, and neither are their buildings. This model is made to be adaptable, so we can meet each partner where they are, whether that's a single-day repair or a two-year capital project.
