Construction Inclusion Week

Welcome to Construction Inclusion Week

An initiative we are proud to be associated with. In the heart of our nation's mission to build, renovate, and maintain federal facilities, we recognize the profound importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the construction industry. This week, we come together to celebrate the values that drive us forward, fostering an environment where every voice, background, and perspective contributes to the creation of spaces that serve all Americans. Join us in a shared commitment to building not only structures but a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
