Build Site

Volunteers are critical to Habitat's success!

At Habitat Pittsburgh, our mission is to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope in Allegheny County. Because of volunteers like you, we are able to achieve this mission as we transform our community.

Our homes are built by our full-time construction crew, hired subcontractors, the future homebuyers, and volunteers like you! Our construction site supervisors are skilled at teaching and guiding volunteers of any skill level through your work day. Whether you are an experienced contractor, or have never stepped foot on a construction site in your life, we need you!

Our construction site is typically open Wednesday - Saturday each week. Listed below are the specifics of a typical build day. These are open to change based on weather, the opportunity, delay in schedule, etc.
