Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition

The McKernon Group was contacted by the television show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and was asked to donate our company resources for the purpose of designing and building a house for a special Vermont family. Assuming full responsibility for the build, we had just a few weeks to plan, organize, gather volunteers and seek donations. After hearing the needs of the family we chose to build an energy efficient home with several ADA features

This project was the ultimate experience in project management. Everyone in our Vermont office was given a task in the planning stages, and the entire company was involved in the actual build which took place 24 hours a day and was completed in 106 hours. It was a success because of the preparation, skill and attitude of everyone involved. The McKernon Group employees gained a new respect for one another as they witnessed the talent, dedication and endurance of every person involved.
