When you look across the skyline, you see incredible feats of engineering and design. Who built these masterpieces? Who designed these works of art? But rarely asked how can a group of 500 people work in such a chaotic profit driven environment where the worker never shares in the spoils but always in the stress.
Some are true artisans; others are con men & hustlers, family men, or someone running from the past. For some, construction is a path to a stable, middle-class life. But for others, it’s a place to start fresh or even hide from what lingers in the shadows.
Onsite brings the real, raw stories from the people who build & repair the world around us. Because behind every building and every repair, there’s a story worth telling.
