Women in Construction

Founded in 2018, the Master Builders Women in Construction group aims to create avenues for our female members to connect with other women working in similar roles. Back then, there were ten women from industry, seated around our small boardroom table, brainstorming how we can assist the many women in our industry to upskill, network and provide a sounding board for advice and knowledge. We decided to create something that would benefit all women in our industry, no matter what their role, whether it be boots on the ground, behind the scenes running the family business, technical roles or running the entire business themselves, we wanted a place to bring these amazing women together and take up space!

Since 2018 the program has grown to actively engage with over 600 women in construction as well as an ever-growing cohort of men, which is a vital component to engagement and change within industry. We have now run a variety of education sessions on HR, social media, self-confidence, legal and business skills. We have also delivered a variety networking and social events including winter days out, wine tours, exclusive site tours and amazing guest speakers. With the assistance of our program partners, we are looking forward to announcing our calendar of events for 2023.
