Breaking Barriers: Women, Allyship & Culture Change in Construction with Faye Allen

In this episode of the Building Your Career podcast, Dom Taujanskas sits down with Faye Allen—chartered surveyor, consultant, and author of Building Women—to explore the realities of being a woman in construction. With over 30 years of experience, Faye shares her personal journey, the challenges she faced entering the industry in the 90s, and the ongoing issues of harassment, pay inequality, and lack of psychological safety. Together, Dom and Faye discuss actionable steps for change—from allyship in meetings to creating safer work cultures—and how both men and women can play a role in driving inclusivity and improving wellbeing across the sector.
