Builders Blitz 2022
During this annual event, generous local builders donate the time, labor, and materials to build Habitat homes in a matter of weeks that are sold with an affordable mortgage to local families.
Builders Blitz 2022
The support and generosity of local builders forever changes homeowners’ lives during Builders Blitz. This incredible event brought another special week of community from Feb. 7-11, 2022, at Habitat Orlando & Osceola’s Silver Pines Pointe neighborhood.
This year, homeowners watched as local builders, along with their vendors and partners, constructed their home in just five days. We partnered with five builders—Jack Jennings & Sons, Park Square Homes, PCL Construction, Pulte Homes, and Walker & Company—to build six homes in just five days. Special thanks to Pulte Homes, which built two homes at this year’s event.
