March 2-8, 2025, marks Women in Construction (WIC) Week, a national celebration highlighting the impact women have in the construction industry. Led by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), this year’s theme, “Together We Rise,” emphasizes the power of collaboration, mentorship, and the growing influence of women in shaping the built environment.
At Sustainable Design Build (SDB), we are proud to recognize the talented women who help drive our company forward every day. Their dedication, expertise, and passion for the industry contribute to the success of our design/build projects.
Women Leading the Way at SDB
Our team is fortunate to have incredible women playing integral roles in our projects—from finance and operations to design and project execution. Their perspectives bring innovation, problem-solving, and a meticulous attention to detail that elevates every project.
Laurie – Lead Accountant
As the financial backbone of our company, Laurie ensures that every project runs smoothly from a budgeting and accounting perspective. She reflects on her experience in the industry:
“I have enjoyed the environment of the Design/Build model. Seeing a project evolve from conception to completion is incredibly rewarding. I particularly appreciate the problem-solving and analytical skills that go into running a full Design/Build firm.
The environment has been uplifting, and I have learned so much, which has been incredibly helpful as a new homeowner.”
Mallen – In-House Interior Designer
Design is a critical element of every successful construction project, and Mallen plays a key role in bringing aesthetics and functionality together. She shares her perspective on working in the field:
“Being part of the construction industry allows me to merge creativity with functionality. At Sustainable Design Build, I love collaborating with our team to transform ideas into spaces that truly reflect our clients’ visions. The synergy between design and construction makes every project exciting and rewarding.”
