WHAT DO WE DO IN WOMEN & MINORITIES?
The rapid growth of the construction industry has highlighted the critical role of women—not only as part of the workforce but as leaders driving retention, professional development, and better working conditions. In this era of transformation, WOPCO BUILDERS aims to become a benchmark in the Texas construction sector by promoting gender equity and entrepreneurial empowerment.
WE HAVE FOUNDED THE FIRST HISPANIC WOMEN- LED CONSTRUCTION COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES
Women leaders play a crucial role in inspiring a new generation of women construction leader through their presence, mentorship and accomplishments. We will proof to girls, that the construction industry is not an "only boys club". One of the first documented women in construction was Emily Warren Roebling who stepped in as the "first female field engineer" on the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was because her husband had gotten sick, and she had to fill in and stay until the end. The Brooklyn Bridge in New York opened on May 24, 1883, and history says that Emily was the first to cross it. Construction is one of the most notoriously male-dominated professions: Of the 10 million people employed in the industry, only 9% of construction workers are women. This figure corresponds mainly to women in administrative and clerical positions in construction since the number of women actively working on construction sites is much lower.
