By New Zealand Women in Roofing.
The BuildHers Project, based in New Zealand, is a house-building project specifically for women in the industry. It is led by women from the architectural drawings to the construction and the sales of the home. With more than forty women working on it, the project showcases the capability of women and the skills and perspectives they lend to the larger industry. Liz Watson, the managing director at Stone Roofing, gave an update on the progress of the project, saying that the women working "conquered the challenges of stage two with sheer determination and passion. Despite enduring two rainy days, photo shoots and mentoring moments, the team stood tall and strong."
Meet the remarkable team:
Why this team
Liz chose this team based on the principles of New Zealand Women in Roofing - mentoring and education. We had a perfect mix: an experienced professional, an intermediate expert, and two dedicated apprentices, one of whom is exploring iron roofing for the first time, transitioning from membrane roofing.
