Women Making an Impact
Suzanne McCoy’s article highlights the significant impact women are making at Samet and across the construction industry. As companies face persistent labor shortages, women are stepping in to fill crucial construction jobs and drive innovation in the field.

Women bring unique perspectives, drive innovation, and foster an environment where diverse ideas lead to better decision-making. With women’s increased involvement in construction roles, teams are experiencing a positive shift in project outcomes, safety metrics, and overall productivity. These benefits aren’t just felt within teams; they resonate across entire communities, improving how we create spaces for people everywhere.”
