Auction of 2 Houses and 3 Storage Sheds
Saturday, November 2, 2024 beginning at 10 a.m. on the PCC Campus

Every year, students enrolled in Building Construction Technology, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, and Electrical Systems Technology team up to build two houses as part of their job-site training toward completing their degrees. They construct the three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes under the guidance and supervision of our experienced, licensed instructors. Students gain practical experience in electrical, HVAC, job site troubleshooting, safe tool handling, critical thinking, and time management.

From start to finish, the project spans three semesters. The first semester focuses on the structure, the second semester is on interior and exterior finishes, and the final semester includes trim, kitchen, and bath installation. During the fall semester, the completed homes are auctioned to the public to fund the following year’s house-build project. View the video tour at the bottom of this page.
