Starter Kit Spotlight: What Every New Construction Worker Should Carry

Getting started in construction isn’t just about showing up—it’s about showing up prepared. At Detroit Home Builders, we believe that having the right tools from day one can mean the difference between just doing the job and doing it right.


That’s why we created our Starter Kits: affordable, essential toolkits designed specifically for new construction workers, students, and apprentices in our training programs.

Whether you're heading to your first job site or starting your pre-apprenticeship training, here’s what every new construction worker should carry—and why it matters.
