A 5-day retreat for construction families to reconnect, recharge, and rebuild
The construction world is demanding, but your family deserves dedicated time to thrive
This retreat is our commitment to giving you that space
Your Family Deserves This Space
The demands of the construction industry can stretch families thin, leading to missed moments, quiet struggles, and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. We understand the unique pressures you face; the long hours, unpredictable schedules, and the emotional toll.
This retreat is built to be a deliberate pause, offering a dedicated space where your family can truly step away from the daily grind and focus solely on reconnecting, healing, and having fun.
What to Expect
Dedicated Time to Truly Connect:
Rebuild communication, share laughter, and deepen bonds in a distraction-free environment.
Serene space to Breath:
Unwind and recharge together away from industry demands.
Practical tools that carry home:
Gain actionable strategies for stronger family communication and well-being, designed for construction life.
A Fully Supported experience:
From accommodations to activities, we handle the details and cover the costs, empowering your family to fully engage and recharge without burden.
Community of Understanding:
Connect with other construction families who genuinely “get it.”

Practical Skills
Ways to talk things out, understand themselves better, and handle everyday challenges.
Family Routines
Intentional habits built together to keep connection strong, adaptable to demanding schedules.
Enhanced family trust
Deeper psychological safety and open dialogue within their family unit.
A Support Network
A community of other construction families who truly ‘get it,’ offering ongoing connection and understanding.
Join the Foundation List
At Project BUILT, we believe every construction family ready to do the work deserves a seat at the table. To manage our growth and ensure we are building the right support for the right families, we have created The Foundation List.
Joining this list is your family’s first step toward our Fall 2026 Arizona Retreat. This initial application helps us understand your family’s journey in the trades and your goals for growth.
Step One ⇒
initial application
Follow the link below to share some basic info about your family and your experience in the construction industry.
Step Two ⇒
priority review
Our team will begin a priority review of all Foundation List entries on May 1st, 2026 to select families for our upcoming Arizona cohort.
Step Three ⇒
the short-list interview
Selected families will be invited to a more in-depth conversation to ensure the retreat’s program and timing align perfectly with your needs.
We keep the Foundation List open year-round.
