Women in Construction

Celebrating and promoting the role women and their allies play in shaping the future of the construction industry.

Together We Rise: WIC Week March 2-8, 2025

Since 1998 Women in Construction (WIC) Week has celebrated and promoted the vital role women play in the construction industry. During this week we focus on supporting and advancing women and their allies and empowering them to continue to grow their careers in the industry. 

The overall theme for WIC Week this year is 'Together We Rise,' and we have identified daily themes to help us celebrate the week, cultivate conversations and provide resources for our women in construction and the allies who support them. 

Daily Themes:

  • Day 1 - Building for Tomorrow
  • Day 2 - Retaining & Supporting Women
  • Day 3 - Women's Safety
  • Day 4 - Work/Life Balance
  • Day 5 - Rise Up, Shine Together

Empowering Women

Each year we host an annual women's event to empower our female team members and their allies and work toward removing the barriers faced by women in construction. Together, we can create a future for all that is open, equitable and overflowing with potential.

We play a role in the community and in our industry around holding others accountable to action. Not only to improve our own performance, but in really being focused around elevating women into more critical roles.

In fact, the number of women in construction has doubled in the last ten years, and construction companies are finding that these women offer new perspectives and unique skill sets to the industry.
