Project Description

  •  Our mission is “To build a spiritual, family, & home town business foundation for my children, and their children that will carry on for generations to come as well as provide financial stability and rebuild a genuine, candid relationship between concrete contractors and our community."
  • With your assistance, Makenosh will be able to employ people in the community that are having difficulties finding employment. We want to be able to give people a second chance to be able to provide for their families. Our target will be minority youth, or young adults. God is our foundation, and we want to be  able to show them some examples of productive, law abiding, spiritual adults that look like them. One of our strengths are our backgrounds, we are relatable. 
  • The market size, or opportunities are endless. I receive around 1-5 bid invitations daily, Monday through Friday. If we are able to bid on these invitations, and even if worst case we only are awarded 2 bids a week. Well these projects are from 3500.00 to millions. We could be awarded 50k per bid for those 2 bids. There is no way to go but up. The key is to get as many estimates submitted as possible, and there are plenty for us to bid on. 
  • These funds will allow us to be able to build a spiritual, family, & home town business foundation for my children, and their children that will carry on for generations to come as well as provide financial stability and rebuild a genuine, candid relationship between concrete contractors and our community. As well as to employ people in the community that are having difficulties finding employment. We want to be able to give people a second chance to be able to provide for their families. Our target will be minority youth, or young adults. God is our foundation, and we want to be  able to show them some examples of productive, law abiding, spiritual adults that look like them. One of our strengths are our backgrounds, we are relatable. This money will help us with Education/Training, Software/Equipment/Tools, seed or money to help us with "turnkey" projects, which most of the commercial projects are. This is what we need to start bidding on the invitations that we receive.
  • I am the owner, and I have laborers, finishers, and estimators.  
  • This business was started by my family because we were tired of working for others, and not feeling whole; underappreciated, like just a quota filler so to speak. We wanted to establish something that would free us from that. We want something that will pass through our family, and that would make us all feel whole, feel like a family and not a “corporation.” We are a small business right now, with no capital set away. We are project to project, and trying to grow and educate ourselves along the way. This is who we are, this is how we provide, this is our family’s trade and everything we get or do is through our Lord & Savior and out of the mud. That means from the bottom, with no handouts. So everything we do is from our heart and appreciated more than anyone will know. We have a vision for this company, one that sets us apart from every other small, minority business. No one here in Southeast Texas provides a one stop shop for concrete production AND labor, and that is our end goal. That is what will make us unique from others in our field, besides our integrity, faith, and emphasis on quality.  We are from humble beginnings, and we have worked hard all of our lives. We want to see this company grow and be able to do so with the help of our community, and others that feel that they have been touched by our story. Our slogan is not just a slogan, its what we have always done, and will continue to do. "Wake. Pray. Concrete. Repeat."
