Build Your Dream Modular Home with BOCES Skilled
Trade Students
 Attention all homebuyers! If you've been
mulling over the idea of owning a modular home, then Jefferson-Lewis BOCES
has an opportunity that's as unique as it is educational. The Career &
Technical Education Department is inviting individuals interested in having
a modular home constructed to connect with the Carpentry programs located
in both Jefferson and Lewis Counties.
Student-Crafted
Homes – Skills and Savings Combined
Boasting one of
the most hands-on learning experiences for aspiring builders,
Jefferson-Lewis BOCES offers students in 11th and 12th grades a chance to
construct a modular home from the ground up. Individual projects will take
place at both the Bohlen Technical Center in Watertown, NY, and the Sackett
Technical Center in Glenfield, NY. By partaking in this project, students
hone their skills in real-world scenarios, benefiting both their education
and your home buying experience.
Your
Participation in the Building Process
Those considering
this opportunity to own a modular home built by the next generation of
expert carpenters must meet specific requirements. Prospective buyers are
responsible for designing the detailed blueprints of their desired home in
conjunction with an engineer hired by the BOCES for this purpose.
Additionally, all costs related to materials and supplies will be
shouldered by the buyer, ensuring that the design and quality meet their
individual needs and standards. Once the construction is completed on the
BOCES campus, the buyer must also arrange for transportation to relocate
the modular home to its permanent location.
Preparing for a
Productive School Year
Planning is
already underway as both the Bohlen and Sackett Technical Centers are
actively seeking inquiries, laying the groundwork for construction to
commence with the onset of the 2024-25 school year this September.
Quality Education
Leads to Quality Homes
Jefferson-Lewis
BOCES takes immense pride in imparting practical skills that will last a
lifetime, and the Carpentry program is a testament to that commitment.
Through constructing modular homes, students are instilled with
craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic that will
underpin their future careers.
Interested
parties are encouraged to reach out to the Career & Technical Education
offices at the respective technical centers to express interest or gather
more information. The Bohlen Technical Center is available at 315-779-7200,
and inquiries for the Sackett Technical Center can be made at 315-377-7300.
