Building Alaska

The three teams kick off their builds and face challenges in the wilderness. Bruce, Mark and their teams start cabins on LaTouche Island and Freshwater Bay, while Dave and his family start on a family home on Point MacKenzie.

Bruce's team runs out of supplies, putting their build at a standstill. Mark's and his crew are challenged to make their foundation level, while Dave and his family deal with a non-functional milling machine.

One builder's worst nightmare becomes a reality when his backup generator dies. Another crew is missing one of its members, and a builder works solo despite the risks of building alone off the grid in a remote location.

One builder finds a way to let off some steam after struggling to get his log walls up, and another crew endures pounding rain on Chichagof Island. One team races against Mother Nature to get the roof up before the snow falls.

The three teams continue their builds in unique Alaskan locations and have to deal with poorly cut glulam beams, a 700-pound runaway ridge beam and canceled orders.

The builders make progress on their Alaskan jobs but must overcome a catastrophe involving a 1,000-pound ridge beam and a supply shortage.

The three build teams face relentless rain, high tensions and tight deadlines as they continue their builds in unique and remote Alaskan settings.

It's the end of the road for the three builders and their respective teams as they race to put the finishing touches on their remote Alaskan builds.
