Kansas City students were given the unique opportunity on Sept. 20-21 to learn about careers in construction, plus gain hands-on experience contributing to a Target store remodel at the “I Built This!” event sponsored by ConstructReach, KAI Build and Target.

There’s an old adage that says, “women can do anything men can do,” and for the 1.2 million U.S. women currently employed in the male-dominated world of construction, that statement couldn’t be any more true. And why wouldn’t women want to work in construction—a career that offers competitive salaries and benefits, opportunities to advance, and a wide range of roles and responsibilities.

KAI Build, KAI Enterprises’ design-build, general contracting, construction management and preconstruction division, has expanded its operation to include a new Concrete Division providing a comprehensive array of commercial services ranging from building foundations and vertical concrete to equipment pads, mat slabs and other flatwork.
