HAPPY WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION WEEK

We want to take the time to recognize two occasions this week – Women In Construction Week (March 3rd-9th) and International Women’s Day (March 8th). These events allow us to recognize the incredible contributions of the women within our industry and beyond.

At Kalkreuth, women have played pivotal roles in shaping the construction industry through the years, demonstrating their expertise and dedication – from project managers and engineers to tradespeople and administrators. Their hard work and commitment continue to drive success and significantly impact our projects, customers, and communities.

This week, take the time to celebrate the women around you – whether it’s through acknowledging their efforts, offering support, or simply saying thank you. To all the incredible women throughout Kalkreuth, thank you for being extraordinary. Working with such intelligent, dedicated, and thoughtful women is truly an honor.
