Episode 15: Philip Eidenschink on Workforce Innovation and Industry Growth in Colorado Homebuilding

In this episode of Behind the Home Build, we sit down with Philip Eidenschink, Founder and CEO of PEAK Staffing Group (PSG Colorado) and one of the most influential figures shaping Colorado’s housing workforce. With a deep understanding of the nationally recognized labor shortage in the homebuilding industry, Philip has made it his mission to connect top talent with thriving opportunities — and he’s doing it with remarkable success.

Over the past decade, Philip has helped hundreds of individuals build meaningful careers in homebuilding, from sales and construction to executive leadership roles. Through PEAK Staffing Group, he has placed candidates in over 220,000 hours of temporary positions, many of which led to full-time roles. His team also provides notary services through PSG Signing Group, facilitating thousands of home closings with a reputation for professionalism and care.

But Philip’s impact doesn’t stop at staffing. He is a tireless advocate for the homebuilding industry through his leadership roles within multiple HBAs across Colorado, including the Denver, Colorado Springs, and Northern Colorado chapters. His passion for community-building and dedication to service has earned him widespread respect and admiration from peers and partners alike.

Ascent Builders praises PSG for their “superior notary services,” and their ability to “professionally represent our brand.” Other builders echo similar praise:

“Philip’s team is excellent… reliable and easy to work with.” – Alex, Lokal Homes
“The past two years have been the best of my career thanks to getting my start through Philip’s company.” – Greg, Lennar Homes
“I just want to say that your staffing team is always so pleasant and professional!” – Barb, Candidate
From founding Colorado’s top real estate staffing agency to co-owning the Colorado Construction Network and now selling homes for Berkeley Homes, Philip’s journey is one of service, hustle, and vision.

Tune in as we talk about staffing, leadership, career-building, and what it truly takes to support the backbone of Colorado’s booming homebuilding industry.

In this episode of Behind The Home Build Podcast, we have a discussing with Luis Menendez, Tunnel to Towers' Director of Construction Homeless Veterans Program (HVP), and explore the inspiring story of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a transformative organization founded to honor the heroic actions of firefighter Stephen Siller, who lost his life saving others on September 11, 2001. We delve into the foundation’s mission to address a pressing issue affecting over 30,000 homeless veterans across the United States.

The Homeless Veterans Program, launched in 2022, is dedicated to eradicating veteran homelessness through innovative solutions. The program focuses on repurposing underutilized properties or constructing "organic villages" of smart micro-homes and comfort homes designed to offer dignity and modern amenities. The philosophy is clear: if these homes wouldn’t meet our own standards of living, they won’t be offered to our veterans.

The Denver project, located near I-25 and Colorado Boulevard, exemplifies this mission. By converting a purchased hotel into 100-120 permanent housing units, Tunnel to Towers creates a space where veterans can rebuild their lives. Each unit includes a kitchen, and veterans pay no more than 30% of their income as rent. The facility will feature fitness centers, day rooms, and support services like substance abuse counseling, mental health support, and job interview training. Veterans can find camaraderie, regain stability, and reintegrate into society with the help of a robust network of resources.

Additionally, the foundation’s National Case Management Unit provides support to veterans across the U.S. and even Guam, offering financial, legal, and VA assistance while extending help to their families. By partnering with local communities, Tunnel to Towers enhances the success of their projects. In Denver, these partnerships include workforce training, resume building, interview preparation, and providing professional attire to help veterans secure meaningful employment.

The construction industry plays a pivotal role, with opportunities for veterans to receive training, retraining, or develop new career skills in collaboration with contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers. The Denver project’s construction begins in Spring 2025, with a one-year timeline to completion. Similar initiatives are underway across the nation in cities like Buffalo, Memphis, Long Island, and regions in Florida, California, and the Carolinas.

This episode also highlights the philanthropic spirit of the American people, whose generosity makes these programs possible. Denver’s community is called upon to contribute—from contractors and volunteers to property managers and local businesses. Together, we can increase the success rate of eradicating veteran homelessness.
