A Decade of Impact

10 Years of Building Equality:

Constructing a more inclusive industry

For the past 10 years, Building Equality has been laying the foundations for change, constructing a more inclusive industry, and championing LGBTQ+ representation across the construction and built environment sectors. What started as a small group of passionate individuals has grown into a nationwide movement, cementing industry-wide commitment to equality.

Since its inception, Building Equality has been busy putting inclusivity on the industry blueprint, and the results speak for themselves:

Our Community Says

"Over the last 10 years, I would say there has been a growing sense of awareness and engagement with LGBT+ matters. As time has evolved, older attitudes, at least being vocalized, have fallen away, and there seems to be a genuine interest from the mainstream in participating in Pride events, for example. However, those of us involved with Building Equality regionally and generally in a privileged position—working in city center offices mostly staffed by like-minded individuals—know that the harder-to-reach groups, such as site workers, remain, well, harder to reach. As ever, we are keen to make efforts to involve this group in our sector as much as possible"
