Students work alongside experienced mentors using real tools and materials to complete fencing projects and learn practical construction skills. Through this program, young people gain confidence, teamwork experience, and exposure to career opportunities in the building industry.

This is learning by doing.


Fence Options

Chain Link Fence

A durable, low-maintenance fence ideal for property boundaries, pets, and functional enclosures.

Treated Wood Fence – Essential Build

A classic pressure-treated wood fence that provides strength, privacy, and everyday reliability.

Premium Vinyl Fence

A premium low-maintenance fence offering long-term durability and clean curb appeal.

What is the Student Build Project?

The program is open to students ages 16–18 who are interested in construction, carpentry, and skilled trades.

Under the guidance of experienced builders, students participate in real project work including:

  • Fence installation

  • Basic carpentry

  • Job-site safety training

  • Tool handling and construction techniques

  • Teamwork and project coordination

Our goal is to help train the next generation of tradespeople while giving back to the Strathmore community.

Our Process

1. Consultation

We discuss your fencing needs, property layout, and project goals.

2. Quoting

Our team prepares a clear quote outlining materials, scope, and timeline.

3. Construction

Students work alongside mentors to complete the project safely and professionally.

4. Completion

The finished fence is inspected to ensure quality and durability.

Built With Community Support

The Student Build Project exists thanks to support from local homeowners, businesses, and mentors.

Together we are:

  • Supporting youth development

  • Strengthening local trade skills

  • Building pride in craftsmanship

  • Creating real opportunities for students
