About

Earthworker Construction is a democratic, worker owned construction coop, that will initially offer 100% union residential carpentry, labouring and plumbing services and small renovations. In time we are aiming to also offer worker owned and controlled construction labour hire services in the commercial sector, and scale up to building eco friendly homes and large renovations in the residential sector.

Earthworker Construction joins sister co-ops like Redgum cleaning, Earthworker Energy, Hope Co-op, Earthworker Smart Energy and Copower in seeking to use demand for products and services in the city to create better outcomes and alternative employment pathways for communities facing structural disadvantage and discrimination and to help create alternative employment in coal reliant regions as coal is phased out. The coop will reinvest a percentage of profits into solidarity projects on an ongoing basis.

Our $10,000 crowdfund target will go towards:

-Tools and laptop ($3500)
- Professional accounts setup ($3000)
- Insurance ($1500)
- Working capital ($2000)
