🌟 Women in Construction Week, with Diane 🌟
 
What started by chance became a career I value. I’m grateful for all the mentors — male and female — I’ve had over the years. Their guidance, insight, and support have been invaluable in helping me navigate the industry and advance in my career.
 
I’m proud of my career path and the chance to see the industry from so many angles. I started as a Marketing Coordinator for a CM/GC, learning how projects come together in the field. From there, I became Director of Marketing at a 100‑year‑old architectural firm, leading strategy across six offices — an incredible experience. Eventually, I returned to construction in a sales role, combining my marketing background with my understanding of design. Working in both construction and architecture has given me a well‑rounded perspective, and it shapes how I approach relationships and projects today.
 
One of the greatest benefits of working in construction is the people. You build relationships within the A/E/C industry, but you can also work closely with clients across a wide range of markets. Each project brings a new team, challenges, and perspectives. The relationships developed are incredibly rewarding, both professionally and personally.
 
For me, being a woman in construction means contributing to an industry built on collaboration, endurance, and results. While it has traditionally been male-dominated, I’ve found it to be a field where credibility is earned through knowledge, work ethic, and relationships — qualities that are not defined by gender. I have absolutely seen the industry evolve. There are more women in leadership, more women on project teams, and a stronger emphasis on inclusion and mentorship. I’m proud to work for a women-owned company, where leadership and vision demonstrate firsthand the impact women can have at the highest levels of the industry.
 
My advice would be to step into the industry with confidence and curiosity. Construction offers many paths — from field operations to design, marketing, project management, and executive leadership. Be open to learning, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to take on new challenges.

✨ Celebrating Women in Construction Week with Melissa Sheffy✨

I found my way into the construction industry by chance. My first job was with an electrical contractor on the construction of a nuclear energy plant. Later, I worked as a secretary for a drywall contractor. I took those roles simply because I needed to work… and ended up discovering a career that would shape my life in ways I never expected.

What’s kept me here all these years? The teamwork. There is nothing quite like standing on a jobsite and watching a building rise from the ground, knowing that what we’re creating will stand long after we’re gone. Contributing to something that will serve generations feels meaningful in a way that’s hard to describe unless you’ve lived it.

Construction also offers something truly special: endless opportunities. Whether you’re in the field, in the office, or somewhere in between, this industry has room for every skill set, every ambition, and every dream.

To the women entering construction, or considering it, here’s my best advice: Be excellent at whatever role you’re in. If you’re a laborer, be the best one. If you’re an executive, understand your team and give them what they need to perform at their best.

Don’t waste time complaining about what you can’t control. Stay positive. Be a team player. When you do those things, opportunities will open for you.

And if you find yourself in the wrong environment? Don’t be afraid to walk away. One of the most amazing things about our industry is the sheer number of paths you can take. Sometimes you simply need the right fit.

Here’s to all the women building, leading, and shaping the future of construction. Your impact is lasting—and the industry is better because of you. 🦺💪

We were thrilled to host MBH Architecture at Network Framing Solutions for an in-depth tour of our facility! They got a close-up look at our advanced framing machines and learned all about the benefits of cold-formed steel (CFS) prefab framing. The visit was topped off with a bourbon tasting from Litchfield Distillery and some legendary wings from J. Timothys. Great insights, great flavors, and even better company
