How is your book helping others?
Building Women is helping people by driving real, measurable change across the sector. At its core, the book empowers women to thrive in a traditionally predominantly male field; offering practical tools to overcome barriers such as discrimination, pay gaps, and lack of flexibility. Through the voices of over 1,000 women, it provides invaluable insight into the lived experiences behind the statistics, while presenting tangible solutions for everyone to build inclusive workplaces. Building Women doesn’t just benefit women, it helps businesses retain top talent, close skills gaps, and boost productivity. It equips male allies and industry leaders with actionable steps to foster a culture where everyone can succeed. By tackling the root causes of inequality, Building Women supports long-term career progression, innovation, and a stronger, more sustainable construction sector. It’s not just a call for fairness, it’s a roadmap to a more successful and future-fit industry for everyone.
