About NAWIC:

In a multicultural/global society where the communities we design for and the client bodies we design with are diverse, so should our teams be.

The National Association of Women in Construction is one of the world's longest-running organisations for women working in construction. Our growing membership reflects the range of roles available in the built environment and operates within the team spirit which is characteristic of our industry.

NAWIC UK and Ireland is a diverse Not-For-Profit Association with a presence in seven separate regions: Ireland, East Midlands, West Midlands, North East, North West, Scotland and London and South East. Each regional committee is represented at the national level and run independent programmes which respond to their specific contexts.
