About Us

Founded in May of 2008, The CBC is a project that to date has observed Charity Focus, principles, gifting construction projects to organizations and individuals in need. This project is one of many such projects created by people giving our time to whatever inspires us, including such things as naturopathic medicine, film making, and stone masonry.



    We follow three simple guiding principles:

  • We are 100% volunteer

  • We don't ask for anything for our services.

  • We focus on small things.

    Goals of this project:

    + Every day is a beautiful day!
    + Building community, one brick at a time.




From an email to Janell Kapoor at Kleiwerks.org:

Hello Janell,
Our organization puts building skills to use on a volunteer basis with the intention of building community. We've used local materials when we could, such as on the stone circle project you can see at the website.

Our goal is to establish a network of people who will come together to help each other build their homes and places of education, bringing community together in the creation of families, educating youth, and doing it in a way that is affordable and more sustainable than conventional means.

Looking forward to learning more about what you are up to at Kleiwerks.org,

CBC Team
