Marcus Campo
President/CEO
NOLA Build Construction & Design
Incoming President
Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans
What are you most excited about in the coming year?
This year brings a lot to be grateful for — both personally and professionally. I’ll be stepping into my role as president of the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans, and I’m honored to lead at a time when housing, workforce development and construction standards are playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of our region. It’s a meaningful opportunity to advocate not only for builders, but also for homeowners and the communities we serve.
What is the biggest challenge facing your industry today?
We’re working to advance smarter building policies, stronger safety standards and long-term investments in skilled labor — all of which are vital as our industry faces rising costs, labor shortages, permitting delays and insurance volatility, especially in coastal areas like ours. At NOLA Build, we’re navigating these challenges by staying focused on what we do best — delivering exceptional custom homes and expanding our commercial and institutional presence beyond Southeast Louisiana to serve clients across the U.S.
On a personal note, I’m about to become a grandfather — and that shift in perspective has been incredibly meaningful. As we continue shaping our family farm into a place where loved ones can gather and grow together, I’m reminded why we build: to create lasting spaces that reflect who we are, bring people closer and stand the test of time. That’s the kind of purpose I bring to every project we take on.
Based in St. Bernard Parish, NOLA Build specializes in custom home construction and commercial/institutional projects for both public and private clients across Southeast Louisiana. For more than 25 years, the company’s work has been grounded in expert craftsmanship, a strong commitment to safety and a reputation for operational excellence. NOLA Build has worked in collaboration with oinstitutions such as Nunez Community College, the Archdiocese of New Orleans, the Louisiana National Guard, and the St. Bernard Port — as well as for hundreds of families across the region.
