Promoting education in construction.

The purpose of this website is promote knowledge and education in construction. Here in the US, many of us don’t have any formal training or education in construction, but we learn through experience. My goal with this page is to promote learning and to that end I will show what I’ve learned over the years. I want to be very clear, what I show here is just a starting point. I am not claiming the tricks and methods I use are the best way to do any one thing, but rather are the end result of 20+ years of refinement with many more years to go.

What I hope is that you as the reader/viewer will have an open mind and be willing to share your suggestions. Let’s all view ourselves as learners first, teachers second. Then all of us will progress together.

My background is entirely residential construction in the US. We are a family business that self performs framing, siding, foundation and some concrete flatwork. Pioneer Builders Inc has been in business since 1978. Besides the last 20+ years in construction, I also write for The Journal of Light Construction, review tools for Tools of the Trade, am a Fine Home Building Ambassador and run the AwesomeFramers Instagram account.
