Inspired by the children’s book The House That She Built, HIA and MiTek have joined forces to create She Builds The Future – a program designed to inspire, educate and promote diversity in the residential building industry.
She Builds The Future brings the Australian edition of The House that She Built to life online. Learn more about each role explored in the book, alongside inspiring stories from real women in the residential building industry living their dream in these rewarding careers.
The House That She Built Australia
The House That She Built tells the true story of a team of real women in Utah, USA, who came together to build a one-of-a-kind home. The easy-to-read story teaches young girls about the exciting range of job opportunities in the housing industry. The Australian edition of the book includes a handful of changes to refer to Australian job titles.
The House that She Built Australia has been created in collaboration with the book’s author, Mollie Elkman and the She Built Foundation. HIA and MiTek greatly appreciate this support and we hope that bringing the book to Australia helps spread the word and inspires more young girls to consider a career in home building.
