REFINING DISCIPLINES
Over the last 30 years, Pohlig Builders has been committed
to building on a higher level. When introduced to Building
Knowledge, Inc., a Minneapolis MN based company; we
knew their Building Better Home Series would fulfill our
educational program needs for today and years to come.
We invited our closest fellow builders (our competitors) and
our trade partners to a day long seminar that took us through
the process of building homes that are healthier, safer, more
durable and more energy efficient.

 MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Bi-annually the Home Builders Association of Chester and
Delaware Counties (HBA) sponsors a Weekend Building
Blitz for Habitat for Humanity. Two twin homes are constructed
by members of the HBA. This includes the bulk of the framing
of the homes, with roofs completed and shingled, walls sheathed,
windows installed and stairs in place. After HBA volunteers
complete their part, other Habitat volunteers finish the interior
work such as electrical and plumbing, building cabinets and
laying floors. Future owners of the houses are required to
volunteer 500 hours of service to Habitat; 200 of which will
be on their new home.

GREENER PATHWAYS
Participating in Radnor Township’s first wetlands project
enabled us to assist the community with the restoration of a
valuable asset to our ecosystem. A naturally wet area located
along Darby Creek in Rosemont was converted to a community
wetlands habitat. The project was funded by a grant from the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s
Wetland Replacement Fund. We donated the labor to
construct a 100 foot long wheelchair-accessible boardwalk
with supplies donated by Tague Lumber Company. The newly
created wetlands will provide an outdoor classroom for residents
of all ages.

GIVING BACK
Lending a helping hand is something we like to do. When the
pastor of a local church reached out to us for our guidance,
we got involved and remedied the construction failure they
were experiencing. We are dedicated to giving back to the
community in positive ways. |
