Our Story
Construct It Yourself was founded by Richard Cartright, a veteran in the construction industry with over 30 years of experience. Richard’s journey began on the job site, where he learned the intricacies of construction from his father, an architect and structural engineer. Over the years, he managed complex projects for world-class institutions, top architecture firms, and leading contractors, refining his expertise in delivering high-quality results under any circumstances.
Richard noticed a gap in the market: while large-scale projects benefit from a dedicated team of experts, homeowners and small business owners often struggle to manage renovations without professional support. This realization led to the creation of Construct It Yourself, a service designed to give individuals and small business owners the tools and guidance they need to successfully navigate their renovation projects—without the overwhelming complexity or cost.
