If you BUILDIT – They Will Come! ? When BuildIT launched nearly five years ago as BuildOUT California we knew that we needed to approach the design and construction industry (AEC) from a unique perspective. We knew that we needed to ‘lean forward’ with an emphasis on communicating, and building on, the experience, qualifications and capacity of our Associates, Allies, Stakeholders and Partners. ? The AEC community has responded to our approach with great acceptance.?In less than five years we have been honored to receive several national awards for our programs and services which include: ? Our Golden Pitch Series?– which effectively conveys key qualification-based aspects of LGBT, Minority, Women, Veteran owned businesses along with highlights from public sector capital programs and Investor Owned Utility mega infrastructure projects.?BuildIT’s Golden Pitch series. ? Our RFX Hub?– on a daily basis our ‘RFX Hub’ provides fresh, and continuously updated, information on a sector by sector basis of RFP, RFQ, RFI opportunities.?Our proprietary software programs provides continues access to opportunities and provides numerous ‘prompts’ for those businesses who may need assistance during the procurement process. ? Our Pre- and Post-Award Services?(provided at no cost) not only ensure our Associates/Allies are constantly increasing their competitive edge in the marketplace – but they also ensure that once they have won a contract opportunity that we stand by them with relevant services that ensure successful contract delivery. ? Our Mentor-Protégé Program?is unparalleled in terms of its ability to establish clear and defined metrics of success and provide continuous services throughout the lifetime of the one- or two-year M/P collaboration. Our program has seen unprecedented success in terms of working with Utilities which have a uniquely challenging procurement process based on developing trust, industry expertise, and extremely competitive pricing. ? Our Match-Making?efforts are exceptional because we spend more time ‘listening’ to the unique qualifications of our Associates/Allies and matching them with firms across the West Coast, North America and the Globe when they are putting together competitive teaming arrangements. ? Our Workforce Development Initiatives?are taking off to address the on-going need for hundreds of thousands of new tradespeople and laborers by the year 2030.?With the promise of billions of dollars of new investment in infrastructure development (which includes data centers, energy production, mini-nuclear power plant production) we stand ready to funnel qualified individuals to pre-existing training programs that lead to high-paying/quality jobs.? ? Our events?have become our hallmark of generating opportunity, relationships with key decision makers and a place where ALL are welcome.?If you BUILDIT – they will come! https://lnkd.in/eBK3PQiY #LGBTconstruction???#constructionjobs???#LGBTAEC??#Strongertogether
