My Passion for Construction: Personal Motivations in a Creative Industry

Lane Huitt

In the construction industry, conversations often revolve around processes, design styles, products, and customer service. But what about the personal motivations that drive us? As a construction professional who loves connecting with people, I'm eager to delve into the 'why' behind my work. In this blog post, I'll share three reasons that fuel my passion for the construction industry and how they shape my approach to each project.


The Joy of Working with My Hands


Growing up in a family with strong ties to the construction industry, I learned the value of working with my hands from a young age. Though I initially resisted following in my family's footsteps, I eventually discovered my own love for engaging with the physical world. Despite the challenges of procuring materials, overcoming setbacks, and addressing unexpected issues, there's an unparalleled satisfaction in seeing a well-executed project come to life.


Embracing Creativity in the Trades


The creative aspect of working in the trades is often overlooked. For me, tackling a problem on the job site can be just as exhilarating as creating a piece of art. We regularly face situations that demand innovative solutions or unconventional uses of tools to ensure our work meets the highest standards. I've met numerous fellow creatives in the construction field—painters, musicians, sculptors, and more—who bring their passion and ingenuity to every project.


Enhancing Lives Through Thoughtful Spaces


Our surroundings greatly impact our mood and well-being. Thoughtfully designed spaces, featuring the right colors and effective use of space, can significantly improve our daily lives. Personally, I find airy neutrals, natural wood tones, and a well-curated music setup to be the perfect recipe for relaxation and confident hosting. While our individual preferences may vary, creating spaces that boost productivity, well-being, and confidence is a common goal—and it's one that I find incredibly rewarding to help clients achieve.


My passion for construction is deeply rooted in the physicality of the work, the creativity it demands, and the opportunity to improve people's lives through well-designed spaces. These personal motivations not only drive me forward but also shape the way I approach each project at LH Paint and Design. I'm always eager to learn more about others' motivations and the driving forces behind their work. What keeps you going in your profession? Let's start a conversation—feel free to reach out anytime.
