Habitat Build Day, March 2015

Yesterday, the Aho team spent another meaningful day out of the office and working with Habitat for Humanity on a new home for the Sanders family in the Grayson Valley area of Birmingham.  

The project, sponsored by a number of local churches, is part of the "Building on Faith 2015" Lenten construction project.

Major activities for the day included:

  • Installing kitchen cabinets

  • Setting floor tile

  • Cutting/installing/painting trim

  • Painting doors and trim

  • Working to find a persistent water leak (that part was a little too much like our "day jobs").

As part of our company's commitment to stewardship and giving back to our community, we periodically spend a day working with Habitat for Humanity.  We started doing this years ago, and it is something our entire team looks forward to.

This time, we worked on a new home in the Ensley area, for the Cooper family, as part of the 2014 Building on Faith initiative which seeks to see families in new homes in time for Easter.  Major activities our staff participated in were roofing, caulking/insulation, soffits/porch ceiling, etc. This was a very productive day, and we accomplished a lot with the other volunteers on-site.

Habitat for Humanity Spring 2013 Build Day

Several times each year, Aho Architects staff "close" the office and spend the day helping to build a Habitat for Humanity ​home for a deserving family.  This year, we worked in Pratt City, an area of Birmingham devastated by the 4/27/11 tornado, on a new home for the Gates family.  This project was part of the 2013 "Building on Faith" initiative which seeks, with local churches, to build a large number of homes in time for Easter.

This is part of our firm's stewardship efforts.​

For us, this is an opportunity to give back; to get involved in construction work and experience what happens on the other side of the drawings we produce; it makes us better architects for sure, and building a home also builds our team.​

For this "build day" we joined with members of Riverchase United Methodist Church, one of our clients who was also a major financial supporter of this home.
