At Alston Construction, we believe the strength of our industry lies in the people who build it—pour by pour, beam by beam, and idea by idea. As we continue to shape the Foundations of the Future, we recognize that progress, connection, and growth are not just about the projects we complete but about the people who make them possible.
Women in construction are playing a pivotal role in this future, breaking barriers, leading teams, and proving that success in this industry is built on skill, determination, and teamwork. This year’s national theme is: Together, we rise. To Alston, this means lifting each other up to build a stronger, safer, and more inclusive industry for all.

Building a Culture of Safety & Progress
One of the core pillars of Alston’s culture is safety—not just physical safety on job sites, but also creating an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered.
At Alston, we understand progress happens when we support one another. Whether it’s through mentorship programs, leadership development, or simply making space for voices at the table, we are committed to building a future where everyone can succeed.
Strength Through Connection
Connection is the foundation of great projects, strong teams, and a thriving industry. Women in construction are creating networks who lift each other up, share knowledge, and open doors for the next generation.
At Alston, we see these connections every day—whether it’s in the collaboration between field teams and office leadership, the partnerships we build with our clients, or the mentor relationships who help guide future leaders. By working together, we don’t just build structures; we build each other up.
Growth: Paving the Way for Future Generations
The future of construction depends on growth—growth in innovation, in leadership, and in opportunities for all. Women are stepping into key roles across the industry proving that construction is a place for everyone.
We are committed to fostering an environment where women can grow, lead, and inspire the next generation of builders. As we celebrate Women in Construction Week, we recognize every step forward—every project completed, every barrier broken—lays the groundwork for a stronger legacy.
Together, We Rise. Together, We Build
As we move forward with the Foundations of the Future, let’s continue to support one another, challenge the status quo, and build a better industry—together. Because when we rise together, we don’t just shape the future of construction—we redefine it.
