Construction will begin on Friday, June 5 on Skinner Drive in the east Raleigh community of Crosstowne. The five homes will be dedicated on Friday, June 12 and will provide a lifetime of change for five hard-working Wake County families.

About Builders Blitz

Yesterday, 12 area CEOs came together and began framing Shanita’s house at a site in Cary.  I was privileged to be able to spend the day working with them. I told the CEOs that they didn’t have to make any decisions on site, but to “just do as you are told and we’ll all be OK.”  I introduced our construction manager Brad McHugh, as chairman of the board for the day and Ed Rogers our site superintendent, as chair of the audit committee.
