The exciting news is coming out of Clovis, California! This past week, walls went up at our Butterfly Gardens project. In the early morning hours of October 12th, BJ Perch Construction’s crews received the first delivery of preconstructed walls to frame out the first floor. Construction at Butterfly Gardens began in May 2021, and after a summer of site work, utility coordination, and foundation laying, the development is starting to look like a home. Thanks to our co-owner Self-Help Enterprises and construction and architecture partners BJ Perch Construction, Inc. and R. L. Davidson, Inc. for making this project a reality over the past few years.
Construction is set to complete at Butterfly Gardens in September 2022. Upon completion, the project will have 75 supportive housing units with full-time property management staff, wraparound supportive services, and two live-in staff members on site. The site will also have over 6,000 square feet of tenant amenity and social services space, with ample space for on-site supportive services staff from the Fresno Department of Behavioral Health. We are excited to see the project continue to transform before our eyes!





Great to see the progress at Butterfly Gardens! It's exciting to witness the transformation from foundation to framed walls. By the way, is Kohlchan.Net down?
It’s wonderful to see Butterfly Gardens hit this framing milestone after months of foundational prep, especially knowing these 75 supportive housing units will wrap critical behavioral health services around vulnerable residents. I turned the site progress photo into a short looping clip with GifToMP4 to share this meaningful construction win with friends who care about affordable housing. Having dedicated live-in staff and thousands of square feet for tenant support spaces makes this project feel far more thoughtful than standard residential builds.
It is great to see the progress on the Butterfly Gardens project in Clovis. Seeing the walls go up really makes the vision for these supportive housing units feel tangible. If I were documenting this construction process, I would probably use a tool like this advanced motion control AI to capture smooth, professional time-lapse footage of the site transformation.
It’s great to see the progress on the butterfly garden project. Creating spaces that support pollinators and local wildlife can have a positive impact on the surrounding environment while also making the area more enjoyable for visitors. One thing that often gets overlooked in outdoor projects is long-term maintenance and protecting the landscape from issues that can affect plant health and habitat quality. That’s why I think planning for things like irrigation, monitoring, and even rodent control can be an important part of keeping these spaces thriving over time. I’m looking forward to seeing how the garden develops as more plants become established.
Really interesting update on the butterfly garden project — it’s great to see environmental and habitat-focused initiatives being shared in such a transparent way. The progress photos and explanation help readers appreciate how much planning and care goes into these spaces. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog https://www.rosedalewellness.com/, and it also highlighted how small ecological projects can have a meaningful long-term impact.
