About Us

It all began with an idea

At the heart of our organization are four dedicated co-founders from different parts of the United States, all with backgrounds in the construction industry, who came together.

The co-founders recognized the absence of a unified voice on a national platform. There was no representation in Congress or local governments, no substantial media influence, and no collective forum to drive meaningful change. These leaders have dedicated countless hours and made personal sacrifices to turn this vision into reality.

Their commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive industry has been demonstrated through their relentless work, strategic initiatives, and steadfast belief in the mission.

Our shared purpose

Hispanics comprise a significant portion of the construction industry, accounting for 35% of the workforce, which includes over 4.4 million workers and 95,000 businesses, generating $779 billion annually. Despite these remarkable contributions, Hispanics lack a unified voice on a national platform. There was no representation in Congress and local governments, no substantial media influence, and no collective forum to drive meaningful change.

We also observed a concerning trend among existing national chapter non-profit organizations. Too often, the focus was on generating revenue rather than empowering members. Many relied on local chapters to provide free labor for fundraising, creating a bottleneck of wealth at the top rather than fostering growth and change. Corporate sponsors, in turn, saw little real value beyond branding opportunities, as they were unable to track a measurable impact from their contributions.

The council was created to challenge this outdated model. We aimed to flip the script and build an organization driven by national efforts to produce positive change at the local level by implementing effective governance by industry experts who can collaborate, promote transparency, and achieve measurable success.

OUR MISSION

is to empower Hispanics by uniting a strong national voice to build capacity, secure economic opportunities, shape legislation & amplify influence.

OUR VISION

is to create an industry across all sectors where Hispanic professionals & businesses lead innovation, drive change, and build a more prosperous future for all.

- The Independent

"Hispanic businesses typically underprice the market to be more competitive than larger companies. Now they have a choice — do I pass this ton to the consumer or do i eat this up myself?"

- Yahoo Finance

"Tariffs are designed not just to regulate trade but to force other nations into compliance."

- Housing Wire

"Strengthening the role of the latino contractor is essential to addressing labor shortfalls in the home builder industry and the housing industry in general."

- Construction Dive

"We cannot afford, nor do we have the logistical resources, to mass deport 11 million people. It's just not possible."

- Business Insider

"Efficiency isn't about arbitrary cuts or applying pressure for the sake of it. Successful organizations build trust, foster collaboration, and create thoughtful strategies to meet their goals while maintaining staff morale."

- Associated Press

"Imagine families navigating healthcare or legal systems without materials in a language they understand; it's a barrier, not a bridge."

- Los Angeles Times

"Developers and general contractors need to keep up with the pace, and they're going to start buying more products at a higher price point."

- GOBankingRates

"Rising costs affect the entire industry, causing project delays, tighter profit margins for small businesses, and increased housing costs that worsen affordability issues."
