Research.

Substantial research shows that companies with a diverse workforce have a higher capacity for innovation. We believe that technology and innovation will be key to the future growth of our industry.

Numbers.

Numbers show that of the construction workforce, 30% are Hispanic or Latino, 10.9% are women, 6% are Black or African American, , and 2% are Asian. Numbers and quotas only tell a small part of the Diversity story, which is an oversight for most organizations in our industry. We strive to incoporate equity, inclusion and accessibility by partnering with our allies to build a project strategy.
