BCBE TEAM BUILDS COMPLETE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY HOME IN NAPLES MANOR

NAPLES, FL (January 18, 2008) --Boran Craig Barber Engel Construction Co., Inc. (BCBE) a leader in general contracting for 36 years in Southwest Florida, has partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Collier and the Tanis family to build a Habitat home in Naples Manor. Straining to make ends meet, the Tanis family often struggled to put dinner on the table and keep a roof over their heads. Through the partnership with BCBE and Habitat, Inel and Almonise Tanis achieved their dream of providing adequate, safe shelter where their children can flourish and follow their educational pursuits breaking the cycle of poverty they once found themselves in.

BCBE brought together 29 of its finest local subcontractors who donated their time, effort and resources to build a 1,400 square-foot, 4-bedroom, 2-bath home. The home has been built to the same standards that BCBE holds for all of its condominium projects in Southwest Florida.  

“We are proud to support Habitat for Humanity in its effort to make affordable housing possible for families in Naples,” said Melvin Engel, BCBE president.  “This partnership reinforces our vision to improve the quality of life in our community and provides an opportunity for our employees to make a difference in the very neighborhoods where they live and work.
