Our Dallas teams spent the week participating in Safety Standdowns across multiple jobsites in recognition of National Construction Safety Week.

These conversations are an important part of reinforcing the awareness, accountability, and daily practices that help keep our jobsites safe for everyone on site.

Thank you to our teams, trade partners, and project leaders across Dallas for continuing to put safety first.

Safety is Our Culture.

Strong safety cultures are built through consistency, collaboration, and conversations that keep safety top of mind.

Today at 400 Lake Shore Drive, teams came together for Safety Standdowns and a Lunch & Learn focused on reinforcing the importance of safe practices on the jobsite.

Shout out to LR Contracting, , Bosch Power Tools B.V., and White Cap for supporting the Lunch & Learn, and thank you to Gurtz Electric Co. and the Levy Company for contributing to the site raffle.

We appreciate all of our partners and crews helping make safety a daily commitment on-site.

Safety is how we operate - every day.

From the jobsite to the office to the drive home, every decision matters. Every detail counts. Every person gets home.

As we recognize National Construction Safety Week, we’re reminded that safety is a mindset we carry into everything we do.

At BOWA, Safety is Our Culture - built into how we plan, how we work, and how we look out for one another.

When women build, the game changes.

This week, we’re proud to kick off Women in Construction by celebrating the leaders, builders, problem-solvers, and change makers shaping our industry and our future.

While women represent just 11% of the construction industry, at BOWA, the numbers tell a different story. Women make up 36% of our team and 28% of our leadership. Hiring, developing, and promoting women is a business priority.

The future of this industry depends on who we empower today.

Here’s to the women building impact on every jobsite, in every meeting, and across every community we serve.
