Masons, plumbers, and all-round handymen—proud of their craft and staying put

At a time when many are considering leaving Serbia in search of better opportunities, there are those who prove that it’s possible to build a successful and fulfilling life right here. This is the story of people who chose to stay, use their skills, and contribute to the community through their work. They are the Hammer and Build team—a group of professionals showing that craftsmanship and passion for work know no boundaries.

From roof to foundation – Crafts that make a difference
One member of the Hammer and Build team, Marko, a professional plumber, has had an interesting journey. A few years ago, Marko, like many others, considered moving abroad. “I finished school, worked various jobs, but wasn’t satisfied,” Marko says. However, when he decided to dedicate himself to his trade, things changed.
“I started as an apprentice under an experienced colleague, and today I manage my own projects. There’s so much work that we can’t keep up, and the income is more than decent,” he explains. “A few months ago, we had an emergency call from a client whose pipe burst just before a family celebration. We resolved everything within a few hours, and they welcomed us as heroes.”
Marko believes young people need to overcome stereotypes about trades: “These aren’t ‘jobs for the troubled.’ These are professions that require skill, dedication, and problem-solving—and the result is stable income and grateful clients.”

Stone masonry – A blend of art and craft
Miloš, another Hammer and Build member, is a proud mason who has found both a profession and a life’s passion in his craft. “I loved working with my hands, but I never imagined stone masonry would become my calling. When I see my work in stone lasting for generations, I feel immense pride,” Miloš says.
Recently, Miloš has received increasing offers from abroad but refuses to leave: “There’s work in Serbia, too—you just need the willingness to do it. Today, I craft monuments, facades, and even decorative elements for homes and apartments. My clients are satisfied, and I have a stable future.”

Everyday challenges – Problems waiting for quick hands
The Hammer and Build team frequently faces situations requiring urgent intervention. Ivana, who coordinates the team, shares an unforgettable experience:
“Last Christmas, a client called us in a panic—a section of his living room ceiling had collapsed! His family was coming over for a holiday dinner, and he didn’t know what to do. Our team arrived within an hour, repaired the damage, and saved the holidays. Situations like this show how crucial it is to have the right team of handymen on speed dial.”

Why are we staying?
Hammer and Build isn’t just a team of handymen—they’re people who believe that with effort and dedication, one can live well in Serbia. “Leaving isn’t the only option,” they say. “When you have a good team, a clear vision, and the will to work, you can build a successful career here.”
The team emphasizes that skilled tradespeople are increasingly in demand: “Everyone wants a skilled professional—whether it’s a plumber, mason, or painter. There’s no shortage of work, and we can solve any problem quickly and efficiently. People value that.”
