ABOUT

BuildIT is the world’s largest LGBTQ Industry Association dedicated to the sustainable growth of LGBTQ/Allied owned and certified businesses, professionals, tradespeople, thought leaders and stakeholders, in the fields of Architecture, Engineering, Construction Services, Program/Construction Management, Material Suppliers, Large Scale-Real Estate Development, and Related Industries.

BuildIT welcomes participation from all individuals based on merit, achievement, and commitment to excellence. We recognize the value that different perspectives bring to our mission of excellence in the Built Environment and we are committed to maintaining an ecosystem where all members associated with the Built Community have access to opportunity. Membership and opportunities within our organization are available to anyone who meets our established professional criteria and standards.

THE 'WHY' IN WHAT WE DO

As we continue to build on the momentum from our May 29, 2025, Founders Day Conference and Gala Dinner & Awards Program held at the incredible InterContinental Hotel in DTLA, we want to thank each and every person who attended the event and saw history being made.

 

Together we captured that ‘lighting in a bottle’ which occurs only when planning and preparation interact with the spirit of remarkable people who are changing the way the world does business.

 

We are grateful to our partners at Swinerton for their unique ability to capture our story of ‘why we do what we do.’ 

 

We invite you to watch this short video (just over two minutes in length) and join us on our journey toward excellence within the built environment from the West Coast to North America to around the globe.

 

As we always say – being a part of BuildIT is not a spectator sport.  Join us ‘on the field’ to connect, advocate and build capacity!

BuildIT has launched a series of initiatives to fund, build, and repair legacy vertical and horizontal construction projects throughout the West Coast of America, North America as a whole and around the world to encourage LGBT/Allied businesses, professionals and tradespeople to create ‘new hires’ and maintain those currently employed by our network.

An aging workforce portends severe implications for the built community. BuildIT is currently working with key stakeholder groups to build apprenticeship, craft, health and safety and management education programs that are dedicated to engaging the LGBT/Allied communities to build the awareness of high-quality/well-paying jobs in the design/construction industry. 

BuildIT has been strong advocates for the utilization of Collaborative Alternative Project delivery methods in order to build key infrastructure projects in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The utilization of design/build, progressive design build, CM/GC and public-private partnerships are ways that BuildIT believes can keep projects moving forward around the globe.
