THREE WAYS T3 CAN<br />
SAVE YOU TIME & MONEY<br />
T3, the Operating System for<br />
<strong>Construction</strong>, is EquipmentShare’s<br />
cloud-connected technology platform<br />
with apps to help your company<br />
monitor, track and manage its<br />
everyday operations.<br />
T3 can be installed on all of your<br />
company-owned equipment —<br />
regardless of manufacturer — and<br />
every EquipmentShare rental comes<br />
with T3 for the duration of the rental.<br />
With the ability to monitor 100% of<br />
your fleet and provide actionable<br />
insights, T3 can save you time<br />
and money.<br />
Reduce Your Rental Spend<br />
At EquipmentShare, we’re always<br />
looking for ways to help you get the<br />
most from your rental budget — even<br />
if it means spending less with us.<br />
T3 Fleet lets you review fleet<br />
utilization right from your dashboard,<br />
so you’ll know which machines are<br />
making you money and which are<br />
just parked. Then, easily off-rent with<br />
the Rent app and right-size your fleet.<br />
Reduce Service Times & Overhead<br />
With T3’s data reporting and analysis<br />
functions, you can pinpoint ways to<br />
optimize your fleet usage and avoid<br />
costly breakdowns.<br />
Use T3 to identify long equipment<br />
idle times to reduce fuel waste. Track<br />
usage hours and schedule regular<br />
maintenance before small problems<br />
become long downtimes. And if a<br />
machine does break down, our field<br />
technicians can access a machine’s<br />
complete service history to help<br />
pinpoint the problem before they<br />
arrive.<br />
Reduce Theft<br />
Equipment theft robs you of more<br />
than just a machine — it idles your<br />
workforce and slows your project<br />
down. T3’s GPS and geofencing<br />
capabilities can help keep an eye on<br />
your equipment 24/7.<br />
Simply set up an alert associated<br />
with your jobsite geofence, and T3<br />
can text you if equipment from your<br />
jobsite is started outside working<br />
hours. Then, use T3 Fleet to track<br />
your machine’s location and status,<br />
and easily share vital information<br />
with law enforcement. Best of all,<br />
the EquipmentShare team is there to<br />
help you recover your assets every<br />
step of the way.<br />
T3 has helped contractors recover<br />
equipment — from tool trailers to<br />
skid steers — and send thieves to jail<br />
across the country.<br />
The Bottom Line<br />
T3 lets you replace multiple systems,<br />
spreadsheets and ledgers that track<br />
equipment rentals, usage and service<br />
with one centralized solution —<br />
saving you time and money.<br />
Get started with a tech-powered<br />
rental from EquipmentShare.com or<br />

BUSINESS GROWTH<br />
How Contractor Owners Can 20x’s<br />
Their Cash Accounts and Stop Borrowing Time and Money<br />
Wednesday, February 7 | 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />
You will hear the true story of how one simple-minded contractor started 2020 thin on cash not realizing what the rest of<br />
the year had in store.<br />
Three years later his business is on a sure foot while taking on zero debt. He borrow no money and has no need to ask his<br />
vendors, partners, or subs for additional time for payment.<br />
You can run a small or large firm on cash. You can stop the constant calls from creditors wondering when they are going<br />
to get their money. You can stop living from deposit to deposit. You can stop going to bed every night hoping the next<br />
receivable will be in the mailbox tomorrow.<br />
In this life-changing talk, Scott Beebe (CEPA) will share real numbers from a simple contractor that will motivate and<br />
inspire you to build a business without being dictated by chaos, and placing you in the driver’s seat.<br />
Learning Objectives<br />
1. See how using one or two bank accounts in your business is crippling<br />
2. Watch real life examples unfold showing the growth of the cash over time...even when a business declines in annual<br />
revenue<br />
3. Walk away with a simple structure you can implement tomorrow and the road map to do so<br />
Target Audience: Homebuilders, Remodelers, Contractors<br />

in corporate briefing centers, flagship retail and education facilities, to video activations of glass curtain walls in mixed-use<br />
developments, to iconic large-format public art canvases and immersive sculptural “digital placemaking” installations in<br />
transportation hub facilities.<br />
These examples are shown in the context of how they enhance the built environment by creating a sense of place and have<br />
a positive impact on the social wellbeing of occupants. This course will also elaborate on how the design of these systems is<br />
integrated within the architectural design process through pre-contract and post-contract design development support, how they<br />

Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | Room 404<br />
Saleh Mubarak<br />
Consultant, author, public speaker, and trainer in construction project management<br />
Contractors have to update the projects’ schedules periodically. This update is so important not only because it provides the<br />
contractor and the owner with an idea of where the project stands at this point, but also because progress payments from the<br />
owner to the contractor depend on information in these updates, specifically amount of work performed this period on each<br />
activity. This amount of work is usually expressed in percent complete. However, there are many types of percent complete,<br />
based on physical estimates (units), cost, time, man hours, or other. It is also important to calculate both baseline and actual<br />
percent complete for the activity, in order to determine if work is on, ahead, or behind schedule. This seminar takes a quick<br />
look at different types of percent complete, explains them, and discusses what they represent and when to use them.<br />

UNLOCKING<br />
OPPORTUNITIES<br />
Bridging the Gap for<br />
Women in <strong>Construction</strong><br />
BY CHRISTINE FERRY<br />
SUPERINTENDENT / CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INC. OF TAMPA<br />
The <strong>Tampa</strong> Chapter of NAWIC, National Association<br />
of Women in <strong>Construction</strong>, is happy to share some<br />
interesting information on our organization and<br />
construction industry trends.<br />
NAWIC was originally founded in 1953 in Ft Worth, TX,<br />
by women who wanted to support one another in a male<br />
dominated construction industry. There is power when we<br />
stand together and support one another! Our <strong>Tampa</strong> Chapter<br />
began in 1960 and has been led by many prominent <strong>Tampa</strong><br />
Area women through the years.<br />
Currently our <strong>Tampa</strong> Chapter is working on continuing our<br />
outreach to potential new members, strategic partnerships<br />
and community organizations. We also focus a lot of planning<br />
and effort towards a week in March that we celebrate<br />
Women In <strong>Construction</strong>, called WIC Week. The <strong>2024</strong> dates<br />
are March 4 to March 8th, <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
What does NAWIC “really” do?<br />
NAWIC provides support and means needed (for<br />
women in the construction industry) to develop<br />
leadership skills through:<br />
• Professional Education & Personal Growth<br />
• Becoming Involved with the Community<br />
• Tremendous Networking Opportunities<br />
We will be doing different activities throughout the week,<br />
in the <strong>Tampa</strong> area. We will focus our events on Professional<br />
Development, building a home with Habitat For Humanity of<br />
Hillsborough County, becoming more familiar with hand &<br />
power tools as well as connecting with the design community<br />
in <strong>Tampa</strong> and increasing our heavy equipment knowledge!<br />
Our web site is being updated and should have all the<br />
information available in February for people wanting to join<br />
us in celebrating Women In <strong>Construction</strong>!<br />
Our Chapter was invited to attend a Professional day with<br />
Hillsborough County Schools earlier this year. During the<br />
presentation, I was able to interact with Instructors from local<br />
schools that taught construction, design, plumbing, welding,<br />
electrical classes, and other trades. The most discussed<br />
topic was “Why aren’t more females taking their classes?”<br />
At that point I could only speak to my personal experience<br />
as I had no data to back up any of my perceptions. We<br />
discussed several things like perhaps females felt it is a male<br />
dominated area and they may not feel welcome or perhaps<br />
they anticipated discrimination or harassment. The discussion<br />
sparked an interest in me to search out answers to their<br />
questions. They were very passionate about their trades,<br />
very aware of the shortage of tradespeople and wanted to<br />
encourage females to join the construction industry in <strong>Tampa</strong>.<br />
My First NAWIC Annual Conference<br />
Only a few weeks after the presentation I was able to attend<br />
my first NAWIC Annual Conference being held that year in<br />
Portland, OR. Wouldn’t you know one of the many excellent<br />
classes being provided at the conference was “In Her Own<br />
Words”, a research report done in May 2023 from the NCCER<br />
(National Center for <strong>Construction</strong> Education and Research). I<br />
was overjoyed to finally see a research study on the topic!<br />
What I learned was the reasons women do enter the<br />
construction industry is mainly to make money and that<br />
usually there is a pre-existing family background in the<br />
industry, which made perfect sense to me as my Father David<br />
Lawson is an Architect and General Contractor and I learned<br />
the industry from him starting at around age five when he<br />
asked me hold the measuring tape at a project site he was<br />
working on. My curiosity took flight from there!<br />
According to the report, women perceived that there are<br />
unlimited opportunities in the construction industry, there<br />
were many training programs available and Site Leadership<br />
was also possible. Many women felt they carried more<br />
childcare responsibilities and the inflexible hours and the<br />
physically demanding work impacted their choices.<br />
38 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM
As you may expect, the perception of the industry of many<br />
women was that the industry was male dominated, hard &<br />
physical and not welcoming to females. They felt the barriers<br />
to employment in the industry were possible discrimination &<br />
harassment, they needed a personal connection to be hired,<br />
their abilities are underestimated and they had the primary<br />
responsibility for their children. What was nice to see is a<br />
respectable number of women who felt “If a man can do this, so<br />
can I”, which was personally always my feeling about the matter!<br />
Winning Attributes<br />
Just as men are not all the same, women too vary greatly<br />
from each other and this report provided scientific based<br />
research where we can look at the percentages of women<br />
who believe certain things to be true, and we can consider<br />
these trends as we strategize for the future. I was happy<br />
to see the important attributes that women bring to the<br />
industry listed to include having a “Team” Focus, Attention<br />
to Detail, Clean Jobsite and a Safety Mindset. What<br />
construction industry companies wouldn’t love to have those<br />
attributes in their employees?<br />
The report also went on the include advice to construction<br />
companies on the recruitment and retention of women. To<br />
attract more women, a company should raise awareness<br />
that you are agreeable to hiring women, offer training &<br />
advancement and communicate the reality of the job<br />
without sugar coating it. There was mention that there<br />
are “women who are just not going to be interested<br />
in the industry” and that there may not be anything<br />
companies could do about that, but my feeling is<br />
that statement applies equally to men as well.<br />
Part of the challenge is not buying into the<br />
social construct that all men are cookie-cut<br />
to be experienced and confident with their<br />
construction skills and all women want to be<br />
in their home or an office cubicle all day.<br />
Best practices to retain their female employees was<br />
also researched and they found some items companies<br />
could work on to address retention. Discrimination &<br />
Harassment must be met with strong policies and effective<br />
implementation, consistent hiring practices to provide a level<br />
playing field, offer training & advancement opportunities,<br />
treat everyone equally, and accommodate primary caregivers<br />
through on-site daycare, childcare support and/or flexible<br />
hours. This is a list of ideas that can apply to women and<br />
men, equally!!<br />
In conclusion, I was so happy to receive the request to write<br />
this article and share information about NAWIC and our<br />
<strong>Tampa</strong> Chapter. I believe part of addressing the shortage<br />
of women in the industry should start with our youth. After<br />
attending the class and receiving much more fantastic<br />
information at our NAWIC conference I promptly sent the<br />
information out to the organizers of the Professional Day<br />
event to share the information I received, with the hopes<br />
that the Instructors would take action to help address the<br />
shortage of women in the industry.<br />
Our <strong>Tampa</strong> Chapter has also been taking steps to connect<br />
with students through the Great American Teach-In that<br />
happens in November each year as well as the Home<br />
<strong>Build</strong>er Lennar sponsored event “Framework For the Future”<br />
which invites local trade school students<br />
to learn about and tour an active<br />
residential construction site<br />
and meet with trade partners<br />
and organizations that can<br />
help them in the industry.<br />
We will continue to<br />
grow, encourage and<br />
assist women in the<br />
construction industry<br />
and we hope you will<br />
join us in that endeavor!<br />

LATEST<br />
TRENDS<br />
IN GREEN<br />
BUILDING<br />
Every year we see news reports with<br />
a listing of the latest and greatest<br />
new trends in green building design<br />
and construction. While some are<br />
achievable currently or in the near future<br />
others are unrealistic in<br />
their promises for quick<br />
fixes for the environment<br />
for several reasons. This<br />
article will review a few<br />
of the realistic options<br />
in green building which<br />
are currently feasible<br />
including net zero,<br />
green roofs, modular<br />
SARAH<br />
ANDREWS<br />
OWNER,<br />
SUSTAINABLE<br />
SOLUTIONS<br />
construction, retrofitting,<br />
human health and wellbeing,<br />
smart devices,<br />
building information<br />
systems, and biophilia.<br />
We should begin with a review of the<br />
fundamental concepts upon which green<br />
building is based regardless of the rating<br />
system used. Among the principal strategies<br />
we find preservation, protection, restoration,<br />
and resilience. These ideas apply to resources,<br />
the natural environment, historical sites or<br />
structures, habitat, community, and vulnerable<br />
and endangered species of plants and animals.<br />
Resiliency and adaptability following natural<br />
or man-made disasters have also become<br />
key aspects of green building in practical<br />
application. The old “reduce – reuse –<br />
recycle” we’ve seen on trash containers for<br />
years still applies. Reducing our demand<br />
and impacts, reusing materials and spaces,<br />
and recycling refuse and materials are basic<br />
concepts familiar to most in everyday life.<br />
In recent years the focus has switched from<br />
building-based intents to the protection,<br />
preservation, enhancement, and improvement<br />
of human health and well-being in the built<br />
environment. Numerous studies have shown<br />
that when humans are healthy and happy,<br />
they are more productive in the workspace,<br />
their attendance is improved, sick people heal<br />
faster, and school children perform better.<br />
Better attendance and productivity of workers<br />
lead to an increase in return on investment<br />
for owners as well as higher retention rates.<br />
Facilities that enhance the indoor environment<br />
also increase demand for green buildings and<br />
support higher lease rates.<br />
Net zero is a concept with a broad range of<br />
possible applications. There are criteria for<br />
net zero energy, water, waste, and carbon<br />
policies. Water and energy use reductions are<br />
based upon the precepts of reducing demand<br />
and replacing supply with sustainable or lower<br />
impact sources such as renewable energy<br />
and non-potable water supplies. Renewable<br />
energy can come from photovoltaic, solar,<br />
42 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM
wind, wave, or geothermal power generation.<br />
One may also support the production of<br />
renewable energy in other parts of the<br />
country by purchasing renewable energy<br />
certificates if local options are not available.<br />
Reducing the demand for potable water for<br />
uses other than drinking water supports the<br />
reuse of some wasted water like gray water<br />
or partially treated black water for irrigation,<br />
flushing toilets, and possibly process water<br />
for mechanical equipment like cooling towers.<br />
We seek to keep the use of potable water<br />
limited to consumption for life to increase<br />
the use of underutilized water resources like<br />
rainwater. We want to treat stormwater as a<br />
valuable resource not as a nuisance.<br />
Net zero waste techniques are supported by<br />
systems like Total Resource Use and Efficiency<br />
(TRUE) certification. Any physical facility,<br />
including buildings owned by businesses,<br />
property managers, schools, government<br />
agencies and nonprofits can receive<br />
certification of eligible events. These events<br />
would include any public or private organized<br />
gathering at a predetermined time and place<br />
such as conferences, festivals, entertainment,<br />
or sporting events. Opportunities for the<br />
reduction of waste begin with reuse and<br />
reduction of generated streams along with<br />
composting, recycling, anaerobic digestion,<br />
and other processing technologies which<br />
divert waste from landfills or incinerators.<br />
Finally net zero carbon emissions techniques<br />
like carbon capture, afforestation (increasing<br />
forest cover), carbon burial, and the purchase<br />
of carbon offsets help to reduce one’s carbon<br />
footprint.<br />
Green roofs, whether extensive or intensive,<br />
provide a variety of options and can be<br />
combined with solar panels to provide more<br />
bang for the buck by augmenting the positive<br />
effects of using multiple strategies together.<br />
Green roof systems can be designed to look<br />
like a park or may be used for rooftop framing.<br />
A wide variety of plants may be used with<br />
some systems requiring greater maintenance,<br />
more fertilizer and water, and may require high<br />
load-bearing capacity within the structural<br />
systems. Many systems can function as storm<br />
water filters and also provide habitat for urban<br />
wildlife.<br />
A third strategy for supporting the<br />
accomplishment of green building goals<br />
is modular construction. In contrast with<br />
traditional construction methods modular<br />
construction can provide greater flexibility and<br />
reuse, less material waste, and improved air<br />
quality with less moisture in support of human<br />
health targets. This construction method can<br />
be used to reduce the construction schedule<br />
and eliminate weather delays while supporting<br />
built to code construction with quality<br />
materials. Modular construction projects are<br />
safer, better engineered, and offer limitless<br />
design opportunities.<br />
Retrofitting is a means by which to optimize<br />
operations and maintenance along with space<br />
utilization. Old mechanical and electrical<br />
systems can be given new life by incorporating<br />
load curtailment programs and virtual building<br />
automation systems. Existing spaces can be<br />
made new through renovations and upgrades<br />
to enhance and supercharge public visibility,<br />
awareness, and engagement.<br />
Perhaps the most impactful methods to<br />
support green building ideals affect the<br />
relationship between human health and<br />
the physical environment. Evidence based<br />
systems like the WELL <strong>Build</strong>ing Standard<br />
by the International Well <strong>Build</strong>ing Institute<br />
provide verifiable results about spaces<br />
which enhance rather than hinder health<br />
and wellbeing. The WELL Standard includes<br />
10 concepts which include air, water,<br />
nourishment, light, movement, thermal<br />
comfort, sound, materials, mind, and<br />
community. By providing facilities which<br />
provide clean air and water, opportunities<br />
for movement within and around the space,<br />
creature comfort, and stimulation for the mind<br />
and food for the soul the human creature can<br />
thrive in these environments.<br />
Smart devices have become pervasive in<br />
every aspect of daily living and may increase<br />
the effectiveness of various green building<br />
strategies and techniques by increasing<br />
safety, fitness, and interconnectivity during<br />
construction and beyond. From wearables<br />
like smart watches and fitness trackers to<br />
advanced onboard computers and fleet<br />
telematics, increased compatibility of systems<br />
can lead to greater efficiencies in a wide<br />
variety of applications including smart grids,<br />
road conditions, bridge integrity, rainfall<br />
monitoring, and public engagement.<br />
<strong>Build</strong>ing information modeling (BIM)<br />
provides digital planning and design for<br />
use in simulations and digital workflows<br />
to improve efficiency in the design and<br />
construction processes. BIM may be used for<br />
prefabrication of components and systems<br />
to entire structures. Additional tasks such as<br />
space planning and cost estimation benefit<br />
greatly from BIM during the design process<br />
and can be transitioned into the occupancy<br />
phase of a facility for additional management<br />
tools. Smart building systems can manage<br />
building-wide or campus-wide systems such as<br />
HVAC, lighting, energy management, alarms,<br />
communications, maintenance, and security.<br />
Finally, biophilia enhances indoor spaces<br />
through the addition of plants and trees into<br />
walls, interior design, roofs, and landscaping.<br />
Biophilic systems use natural light and water<br />
features to break down the barriers between<br />
inside and outside. Occupants are nurtured<br />
within these spaces, particularly in medical<br />
and educational settings. Humans need that<br />
connection to the outside world to maintain<br />
both physical and mental health.<br />
In summary there are numerous ways in<br />
which to enhance the “livability” of indoor<br />
spaces in support of the human beings living<br />
and working inside those spaces. When the<br />
human soul is properly nourished the physical<br />
self and the mind can be liberated in order<br />
to become the most mindful and caring of<br />
creatures, and we will be free to be the very<br />
best versions of ourselves that we can be.<br />

AS TOLD TO ANNE DOHERTY<br />
BY SCOTT WYNHOFF<br />
Scott Wynhoff founded Homes.Solar in 2017. Prior to<br />
launching his company he had worked at other mega<br />
solar companies and learned a few things very quickly.<br />
One was that their customer service was nonexistent<br />
and the other was that they really did not care about saving<br />
the customer money. They were mostly<br />
interested in making money themselves.<br />
Scott had been self-employed for over 20<br />
years in some successful ventures, and<br />
some not-so-successful, yet he’s always<br />
maintained a passion for wanting to provide<br />
a good product and good service at a fair<br />
price. He feels very strongly that great<br />

customer service is extremely important,<br />
something he attributes to his upbringing<br />
in the 60s and 70s which instilled a strong<br />
work ethic in him as well as in his business<br />
dealings.<br />
Scott strongly believes in the advantages solar energy can<br />
provide including owning your own power without rate<br />
increases, tax credits, and the increase in home value that<br />
can come with installing solar energy.<br />
So, with the support of his “awesome wife and family”<br />
Homes.Solar went live in June of 2018. The start up process<br />
helped Scott to realize that he had a huge passion for the<br />
industry and loves helping homeowners get started and<br />
maintain solar power in their homes. He is proud of his<br />
business philosophies which include not making excuses<br />
when things don’t go as expected.<br />

industry, as the owner of my company, it is MY responsibility<br />
regardless of who or what caused the issue” Scott states. “I<br />
heard a quote a few years back that the search for someone<br />
else to blame is always successful but, in the case of my<br />
company, I take responsibility for all of the work we do:· Scott<br />
believes his company is among the best. He strives to always<br />
give the fairest price and the best service possible. “I put my<br />
heart into every job that I do and i:hat is just who I am. I am<br />
not satisfied until my customer is.”<br />
Scott and his wife grew up in the Midwest and, after living<br />
around the country, they realized they no longer cared for<br />
the harsh winters and settled in the <strong>Tampa</strong> area due to its<br />
great climate and people. When not at work, Scott and his<br />

young women and girls, especially those from minority<br />
communities, they can inspire the next generation to pursue<br />
careers in construction, engineering, and architecture.<br />
Advocacy for Inclusive Policies<br />
By taking active roles in policymaking and advocacy, Black<br />
women can influence the development of inclusive policies<br />
that ensure equal opportunities for all individuals in the<br />
construction industry. This can lead to a more equitable<br />
work environment that values diversity and inclusion.<br />
Promoting Workforce Development Programs<br />
Involvement in or creation of training and certification<br />
programs can enable Black women to help others gain<br />
the necessary skills for the construction industry. These<br />
programs can also be tailored to address specific skills gaps<br />
and the evolving technological needs of the sector.<br />
46 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM
more minority women to embrace entrepreneurship in the<br />
construction industry.<br />
Networking and Collaboration:<br />
Organizations like the National Association of Black Women<br />
in <strong>Construction</strong> (NABWIC) can be instrumental in fostering<br />
networking opportunities, sharing best practices, and<br />
collaborating on large-scale projects. This unity can amplify<br />
the impact Black women have on the industry’s direction<br />
and prosperity.<br />
By harnessing these avenues, Black women can not only<br />
enrich the workforce with their skills and leadership but<br />
also ensure that the booming construction industry in<br />
<strong>Tampa</strong> continues to thrive with a commitment to diversity,<br />
innovation, and community upliftment.<br />
Innovation in <strong>Construction</strong> Technology<br />
As <strong>Tampa</strong> embraces smart technologies in construction,<br />
Black women can contribute to innovation by being at the<br />
forefront of technological advancements, from 3D printing<br />
in building processes to the use of AI and machine learning<br />
for project management.<br />
Championing Affordable Housing<br />
Black women can leverage their unique perspectives<br />
to advocate for and participate in the development of<br />
affordable housing projects. This can help address one<br />
of the major challenges in <strong>Tampa</strong>’s urban development,<br />
ensuring that growth benefits a broader spectrum of the<br />
population.<br />
Enhancing Project Management<br />
Black women with skills in project management can lead<br />
complex projects, ensuring that they are completed on time<br />
and within budget, while also meeting the high standards<br />
required by the modern construction industry.<br />
Economic Empowerment<br />
Through Entrepreneurship<br />
By founding and leading their own construction firms,<br />
Black women can drive economic growth and create jobs.<br />
Their success can serve as an inspiration and a catalyst for<br />
Additional Ways NABWIC Can<br />
Benefit Black Women in <strong>Construction</strong><br />
The National Association of Black Women in <strong>Construction</strong><br />
(NABWIC), provides advocacy and support in the above<br />
areas by:<br />
1. Promoting Education and Training: Increasing access to<br />
educational programs and vocational training opportunities<br />
is vital for empowering black women in construction.<br />
Scholarships, apprenticeship programs, and mentorship<br />
initiatives can help provide necessary skills and support.<br />
2. Mentorship and Networking Programs: Establishing<br />
mentorship programs that connect black women with<br />
experienced professionals in the industry can provide<br />
guidance, advice, and a strong support system. Networking<br />
events and forums tailored to their needs can also create<br />
valuable connections.<br />
3. Advocating for Equal Opportunities: <strong>Construction</strong><br />
companies and industry leaders need to actively advocate<br />
for equal opportunities, eliminating gender and racial<br />
biases in hiring, promotion, and compensation practices.<br />
Implementing inclusive policies and fostering a culture of<br />
diversity will help break down barriers.<br />
4. Enhancing Visibility and Representation: Highlighting<br />
the achievements and successes of black women in<br />
construction through media coverage, conferences,<br />
and industry events is essential. Increasing visibility and<br />
representation can inspire future generations and challenge<br />
existing stereotypes.<br />
NABWIC’s newest project is to be a historian for the<br />
achievements of Black Women in <strong>Construction</strong>. By<br />
implementing these solutions, <strong>Tampa</strong> can pave the way for<br />
a more inclusive and equitable construction industry, where<br />
black women thrive and contribute their unique talents and<br />
perspectives.<br />
