What Powerhouse Communications does

Powerhouse Communications, LLC is a veteran-owned US telecommunications construction contractor founded in 2017 by former US Army service members Jeremy Houck and Brad Powers, headquartered at 110 3rd Street in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. The company delivers turnkey telecommunications construction across five integrated service lines: outside plant construction (aerial and underground fiber optic and copper networks, including 5G small cell), inside plant construction (structured cabling, copper high pair count, and single-mode fiber optics up to Cat6A), engineering (network design, permitting, FTTx, 4G/5G, iDAS/oDAS, fronthaul/backhaul), a proprietary real-time construction data software platform, and full turnkey project management with dedicated Project Managers providing daily customer communication.

The company's primary differentiator is a proprietary software platform that allows field teams to update construction data in real time during build, giving customers continuous visibility into project status and eliminating industry-standard paperwork. Project quality is supported by professional-grade equipment including Fluke DSX8000 for inside plant testing. Powerhouse distributes work through a national subcontractor partner network spanning all 50 US states, recruiting qualified partners for aerial fiber, underground fiber, splicing and testing, engineering, and traffic control — enabling a national delivery footprint without proportional internal headcount growth.

Powerhouse generates revenue on a project-based, quote-driven basis through direct B2B contracts with telecommunications carriers and service providers covering full project delivery from design through testing and closeout. The company is NVBDC-certified as a veteran-owned business, operates as a private LLC with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or institutional investors, and reports a headcount in the 11–50 range.
