Trailblazer Spotlight: Elsie Eaves ?? In 1920, Elsie Eaves broke barriers as the first woman to earn a civil engineering degree from the University of Colorado. With pioneering roles at the US Bureau of Public Roads, Colorado State Highway Department, and Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, she introduced innovative data tracking systems that revolutionized construction project management. Elsie's journey was one of many "firsts"—the first woman with full membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Association of Cost Engineers, earning honorary recognitions for her outstanding contributions. In 1950, she co-founded the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), a pivotal move to empower women in engineering.

7 Days of Trailblazing Women in Construction: Celebrating Pioneers Who Built History Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham, often regarded as the first woman architect, quietly revolutionized 17th-century architecture by designing over 400 buildings. Despite working behind the scenes due to societal norms, her vision and talent laid the groundwork for women in construction today. Her legacy inspires us to continue breaking barriers in male-dominated fields. Let's honor her contributions and keep pushing for equality. ????♀? #WomenInConstruction #Trailblazer #Architecture #Empowerment #NAWIC NAWIC San Diego Chapter 21

We are sometimes asked how photos of a construction site are utilized or benefit the client. High-quality photographs, taken by a team with an eye for detail and safety, help document progress, highlight craftsmanship, and showcase the scale and complexity of the work. These images can appear in marketing materials, websites, presentations, bid proposals, or trade publications, but they can also be used for documentation for safety and quality control, or training materials. These images serve a functional purpose, but they also highlight the dedication and skill of the people bringing these structures to life.
