Stephani Enterprises

Custom Construction Concepts (CCC) has been a pioneering force in the education and training of builders since 1995. Founded by Tom Stephani, CCC has made a significant impact on small and custom builders and remodelers across the nation and beyond, by sharpening their business management, marketing/sales, and project management skills. Our seminars and workshops cover a range of construction-related topics, as well as general business management and life/work balance.

As a licensed provider of NAHB designation programs, we offer customized turn-key education events for Home Builders Associations (HBAs), manufacturers, vendors, and suppliers. Our consulting, mediation & arbitration, and expert witness services are highly sought after, making CCC a comprehensive resource for the building industry.
