In March we learned of Women in Construction Week, "an occasion to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry" says the National Association of Women in Construction...so we celebrated on social media with quotes from some of the women on our team!
"I am honored that our design-build team has such powerhouse women, that our company has attracted and retained amazing women who inspire me. I deeply respect and appreciate the women who are such forces in our company." - Tammy Lewis, Chief Administrative Officer⠀⠀⠀
"Most contractors are male. Just 9.8 percent of the construction industry is women. I’m happy to be among them and to spearhead the support for other women entering the industry, not just as designers but women project managers or subcontractors." - Cari Hill, CKBD, Director of Interior Design⠀⠀
"As a Korean woman, I am a minority, which can present challenges in a male-dominated industry. But I am seeing more and more women go into architecture and design, and there is a lot of room for the female perspective in this space. I enjoy working on designs for Lewis Builders projects on the Monterey Peninsula. I grew up here and am very aware of the local architecture and lifestyles that influence how people use their space." - Rebecca Skelin, Lead Designer⠀⠀⠀
