Every year, the students of the Building Construction Technology program, the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration program and the Electrical Systems Technology program at Pitt Community College work together to build a 3 bedroom and two bathroom house as part of their job-site training towards completion of their respective degree.  They build these houses under the guidance and supervision of our experienced instructors who hold licenses in their areas.  These instructors train these students to understand how a residential structure goes together, electrical rough-in and finish, HVAC rough-ins and installation, how to troubleshoot on the job-site, how to safely use power tools and equipment specific to building a house as well as fine tuning their critical thinking skills and developing time management skills.  These students spend three semesters working on these houses from start to finish.  The first semester focus is on the structure, second semester is on interior and exterior finishes and the final semester includes trim, kitchen and bath installation. These houses are auctioned every year in the fall semester and the money goes back into the program for the next house build projects!

Current Houses

We have two houses going to the 2022 House Auction on the campus of Pitt Community College.  Both houses have a craftsman style throughout the exterior and interiors of the homes including the window styles, interior door and window trim and fixtures throughout.
