Supporting Women Into Construction, Design & Trades
​
Build Her is a consulting and advisory platform dedicated to supporting women to enter, remain, and thrive in the construction, design, and trades industries. We work with schools, businesses, and government to create practical pathways, education, and industry-aligned support for women at every stage.
Who we work with
Schools
& Education
Providers
Supporting students and educators to understand real-world construction pathways, career options, and industry expectations.
Government
& Community
Organisations
Advising on programs, initiatives, and policy-aligned projects that aim to increase female participation in construction and trades.
Business
& Industry
​
Working with construction companies, design studios, and suppliers who want to attract, support, and retain women in their workforce.
Construction and trades remain male-dominated industries, not due to lack of female capability, but due to:
​
-
Limited visibility of pathways
-
Lack of early education and exposure
-
Poor retention and support structures
-
Cultural and structural barriers within industry
​
Build Her bridges the gap between intention and action by providing grounded, practical consulting informed by lived industry experience.
The Problem We Solve
Consultancy Services
Services are tailored to each organisation and may include:
​
-
Industry pathway consulting and program design
-
Education workshops and talks
-
Mentoring framework development
-
Workforce engagement and retention strategy
-
Advisory support for female-focused initiatives
-
Collaboration on pilot programs and community projects
-
​
All consulting is designed to be practical, achievable, and aligned with real construction environments.
Our Approach
Build Her is founded on:
-
Practical experience – real construction and design industry insight
-
Education-first thinking – empowering through knowledge, not theory
-
Sustainable change – long-term impact over short-term optics
-
Collaboration – working alongside industry, not against it
We believe meaningful change happens when women are supported early, consistently, and realistically.
Founder
Build Her was founded by Janah Kingi, a construction and design professional with hands-on experience across residential projects, design coordination, and client-led construction outcomes.
Janah brings a grounded, real-world perspective to conversations around women in construction, combining industry knowledge with a passion for education, mentoring, and long-term change.
