Women in Construction Year 2 Industry Survey Report
Earlier this year, we conducted our second annual Women in Construction survey to further develop our understanding of key challenges when it comes to culture and diversity and identify opportunities to drive change.
We asked businesses and individuals, both men and women, to tell us about their experience working in the construction industry. We had over 1,000 responses, with the anonymous feedback providing the basis of this report.
Data from the Women in Construction survey is used to ensure the success of our programs and to help address the issues which prevent women from entering or staying in the industry.Read the Women in Construction Year 2 Industry Survey Report (PDF 4.39MB)
