Ask a Builder

Development of this project is continuous starting June 23, 2002. Builders, Contractors, and Trades associations who wish to be a part of educating young men and women please contact Tim Rogers at Ozarks Technical Community College, Springfield, Mo.Ask a Builder

Registration Instructions: Builders who wish to provide answers to student questions may send an email with a description of expertise (builder, framer, roofer etc), region of country (state and city) years of experience in the trades and email address that you would like the students to use.

Project Description: Students will use this site to enhance their understanding of the construction industry. The site will provide access to builders from several regions around the United States and English speaking countries, with knowledge in different areas of the trades. For example, students who would like to know what other builders are being paid in New York City, Las Vegas, or Seattle would email a builder from those areas, asking for information. The contact person would then respond to the question, with an email addressed to the student. The site will also include the links to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, job postings, and industry webpages.
