Celebrating Women in Construction Week: Empowering Future Generations in Building Industries

From March 2 to 8, 2025, PermitUsNow, a leader in the construction industry, is taking the opportunity to celebrate Women in Construction Week. This initiative highlights the significant contributions women have made in the construction sector and aims to encourage more women to explore various career paths within this dynamic field.

Since its inception by the National Association of Women in Construction in 1998, Women in Construction Week has gained traction, with thousands of companies recognizing the achievements of women in design and construction. Alan Callier, the founder and CEO of PermitUsNow, emphasizes the importance of this week, stating, "This is an exciting time to be involved in design and construction. Women can pursue various roles, from Project Managers to Safety Officers and Architects." Callier urges women of all ages to leverage their skills and talents in an industry ripe with opportunities.

The construction market in the U.S. is valued at around $1.6 trillion per year, representing a wealth of career options for women. As the industry continues to face labor shortages, the need for skilled professionals is more pressing than ever. Women can take on crucial roles such as Project Engineers, Superintendents, or even establish their own contracting firms.

PermitUsNow is proud to mark its fifth year of celebrating Women in Construction Week. Moruf Jimoh, the Technical Manager at PermitUsNow, expresses gratitude for Callier's leadership, noting her over 30 years of experience in the construction field as an inspiration for young women to aspire to such careers. Throughout this week, PermitUsNow plans to share stories of other women who are making their mark in construction, fostering a sense of community and inspiration among future generations.
