Build Out Alliance advocates for inclusivity within the design and construction industry.
About us
Build Out Alliance promotes and advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people serving openly and with pride in all roles within the building design and construction industry. Members strive to make the industry more welcoming to LGBTQ professionals. We lead by example in our own work environments and through partnerships with community organizations. Much progress towards greater inclusivity has been made within the building, design, and construction industries over the past decade, but more can be done. Research has shown that many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees aren’t comfortable being open about their sexual orientation in the workplace. And, homophobic and transphobic slurs and comments continue to remain a greater problem on active construction sites. Many firms have worked to incorporate or improve their own LGBTQ employee resource groups; this is not yet an industry-wide standard practice. Build Out Alliance seeks to fill this void. Build Out Alliance’s mission is to promote and advocate for LGBTQ people serving openly and with pride in all roles within the building, design, and construction industries. Our members work towards making the entire industry more welcoming to LGBTQ professionals, leading by example in our own work environments and through partnerships with community organizations. Currently, Build Out Alliance has active members and representatives from across the building, design, and construction industry – from small, local architecture firms to global engineering and design firms and construction professionals. We see an industry where inclusion is valued universally, where LGBTQ professionals have equal opportunities, can work openly with pride, and benefit from a professional network.

Recently, our San Francisco Bay group hosted a construction site tour of The Gateway at University of California, Berkeley, their latest landmark project. https://smpl.is/9p1rw Led by our friends with Turner Construction Company, the exclusive project tour gave attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the new home for the College of Computing, Data science, and Society. The new building, located on the prominent corner of Hearst Avenue and Arch Street, brings 367,000 SF to the school to foster collaboration and become a hub of innovation and interdisciplinary research while addressing some of society's greatest challenges. #buildoutalliance #constructionsite #UCBerkeley #TheGateway #buildingtour #TurnerConstructionCompany #innovationhub #interdisciplinaryresearch
