jade Any industry relies on Role Models for others to look to; for direction and inspiration, the building industry is no different.

We are proud to present and salute the following Role Models; each of these inspiring ladies demonstrate skill and knowledge in their chosen fields, within the following categories;   

 

 

   Each of the ladies in our Design Team were integral participants, from contracting to purchase the block of land, handling the conveyancing, drawing up plans that met all of the criteria outlined in the design brief- to designing our Logo as "representative of women in building retaining their femininity" and the very website we have dedicated to this National first project. We profile each of these skillfull women to gain an insight into their chosen careers. Of course there is one man, John Hill, who is our project certifier- this indicates that certification is an area that women have not yet fully tapped into.

  • Lessons learned?

Learn from your mistakes and always have a contingency plan in place.

  • Why do you think it is important to help establish a name and better recognised opportunities for females in Building?

I think it’s important to vanquish the myth that the building industry is just for the guys. Promoting women in construction encourages young females to consider a rewarding career in an area they may not have otherwise explored.

 
  • What are your goals for the future?

To travel more often in search of design inspiration.

 
  • How do you effectively deal with your workplace culture?

Our workplace culture is one of simplicity; treat others with the respect and sincerity they deserve. Sometimes it works. Sometimes you need that contingency plan…

 
  • Has there been a role model you have looked to for inspiration?

Yes, my kids. They are full of imagination and always inventing something new. Mr Four’s latest creation is a fishing lure for catching Barra, made from a plastic frog and a paper clip.

 
  • Bec's inspirational message:

Never give up. If you want something, go and get it.
