MILFORD, MA – Consigli’s all-women project team provided a unique—and welcome—perspective during the renovation of the YWCA in Worcester, Massachusetts.

“Staruk says these are all signs that the construction industry is starting to evolve. A women-led management team is certainly uncommon, she concedes, but filling the top roles with women wasn’t a gimmick. “It wasn’t just that we had one woman in each individual role,” Staruk says. “I had several women that I could pick from. So not only could we choose women to ensure this was an entirely female management team—it was also a diverse pool of women.”

Fast Company Magazine sat down with Consigli’s first women Project Executive, Jody Staruk to discuss “What a $17Mil Renovation Looks Like When Women Lead the Construction.”

Consigli recently completed the Recapitalization and Renovation of the YWCA Central Massachusetts, Inc. with a commitment of a 100-percent women-led construction management team as a part of the city’s first community benefit agreement.

The comprehensive renovation to this mid-century modern facility, originally built in 1961 and most recently renovated in 1995. The project addressed deferred maintenance needs including M/E/P and accessibility upgrades, modernization of the interior finishes, repair of the building facade, updates to the existing playground and parking and traffic flow improvements. Throughout pre-construction, the Consigli team worked with the Owner, Architect and Owner’s Project Manager to re-sequence the project, cutting four months out of the schedule and reducing construction costs by 15% without sacrificing the mission and goals of the YWCA.

Along with Women’s History Month, Consigli celebrated all the women within our company and in our industry throughout Women in Construction Week, March 7th – 13th. According to The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) women make-up just about 10% of the construction industry’s workforce. Consigli strives to increase the ratio by providing opportunities for women on and off the jobsite.

To kick-off the week we looked back at our recently completed YWCA Central Massachusetts project which was led by an all-woman team. Having an all-woman led project team brought new perspectives while aligning with the client’s mission of empowering women.


Throughout the week, we heard from multiple women within our organization on being a woman in the industry. See some of their testimonials below!
