About Building People
On a mission to improve representation across the built environment by enabling & empowering a collaborative movement for inclusive change.
Building People is a hub for equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the built environment.
Our mission is to improve representation across the built environment by enabling and empowering a collaborative movement for inclusive change.
We bring together careers opportunities with a ‘network of networks’ (of over sixty organisations working with the under-represented groups our sector needs), enabling people to find built environment careers support, and industry to connect with a more diverse range of talent.
We amplify voices, create connections and share our knowledge, with expertise and a laser focus on under-representation and inclusion.
Our commitment is to reduce fragmentation, avoid duplication and to ensure collaboration.
