It’s Women’s Day, and Women in Construction week, which makes it a great day to write about Women!
According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics Women currently make up about 10% of the Construction Industry. Not a huge number, but one that in my opinion will grow over the next few years. The construction industry has plenty of open jobs available, and a lower pay gap of 94.3% vs. the national average of 81.5%. Making it a career more Women may pursue.

Summer picnic. Sorry about the mid-bite pic Susie!
So why am I touting Women in Construction as a window film company? Well, we are part of this broad industry. While window film might not be the first thing you think of when you think of construction, we do come up on most plans. At Solar Vision Inc. 90% of our work is contracted through a GC, or Glazing Company, and half of that work is Estimated by a female Team Member.
Crystal is our Operations Coordinator. She handles job prep, and ensures our Install Team has everything they need.
At Solar Vision Inc. half of our Team is made up of Women. We’re an MWBE company, but not just on paper. Women are an integral part of our daily operation from Estimating to Installation.
Solar Vision couldn’t operate without these amazing Women. I treasure, and look up to all of them. Outside of their professions they are amazing Moms, Friends, and Aunties.
