Rhett Jacobi (Founder): Founding Arbor Construction in 2014, Rhett Jacobi has worked as a project manager and lender representative for commercial construction companies building retail and multi-family residential spaces. Prior to commercial construction, Rhett worked as a volunteer superintendent for Habitat for Humanity putting in over 4000 hours of service, and while studying and living in a permaculture community.  During the last 15 years, Rhett's construction career has included projects in Mexico, El Salvador, Canada, Vermont, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Denmark, and Ecuador bringing a global perspective to the table and maybe some ideas that the next local contractor hasn't seen before. 

Having dual degrees in Economics and Recreation Management from the University of Vermont, Rhett strikes a balance between the creative and practical, with one eye on the budget while watching dreams come true.  


Simple. Intelligent. Unique.
