About Haggai Home

Two builders.One standard.

Haggai Home is a New Jersey development and construction management company founded by John Martin and Luke Santangelo. We started in Camden, on the projects others pass over, and we hold every project to the same standard: planned on real data, built on budget, and measured by what it gives back.

What we stand for

  1. 1Meticulous, every time.

    The same checks on every site, every budget, every pay application.

  2. 2Savings go back to the community.

    What disciplined construction saves funds the next project.

  3. 3Construction as a pathway to work.

    Every project and contract carries a workforce plan: local hiring, apprenticeships, and training partners, with the outcomes reported.

  4. 4Accountable to the city.

    Every site report shows what the project returns to its municipality in taxes, fees, spending, and jobs, from official sources.

  5. 5One team, start to finish.

    Responsible from the first look at a site to the day it is sold, leased, or occupied.

How we work.

We built our own engine so that every decision rests on sourced data: parcel, zoning, flood, environmental, cost, and municipal tax figures, each with its source and date. Questions that used to take months and tens of thousands of dollars get an answer in days, and the whole project lives on one record that the owner, the lender, and the contractors can all see.
