"Total cost to build without land was $101, 000" said Kena Mathews, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity in Utah County. "UVU provided a good portion of the labor to build the home and provided $1,900 towards building material costs." Construction began in September, and the students from the department of construction management spent the academic school year completing the home under the direction of DeWayne Erdmann. In addition to receiving the rewards for building a home for a local family, students also earned academic credit. "So many people came together to accomplish this great thing for this family," said Palmer. "We hope to be able to do this every two years."
