Celebrating 10 years of Women in BIM

Women in BIM (WIB) was set up in 2012 by Rebecca De Cicco. 10 years later, we have grown into a large, globally recognised initiative, with both women and men representing WIB all over the world.

With amost 2,000 Members and 60 regional leads across 50 countries, we have seen enormous growth in activities, reinforcing how important the group is and how essential our people are in driving change for diversity and inclusion across the construction industry.

A decade of growth

WIB continues to grow globally, connecting women in BIM-related roles for support, networking and education. The group has had a considerable influence in empowering our Members to grow professionally and encouraging young women to begin their career in the construction industry.

In particular, our WIB Mentor Scheme has helped many Members excel and enhance their BIM-careers.

WIB Mentor Scheme

WIB objectives and core drivers.

Encourage and Support.

Supporting one another is crucial as we strive to develop a more inclusive industry. Our network of Members is in place to support, share and encourage each other to grow their skills and take advantage of new opportunities across the world.

Attract and Promote.

We wish to attract women into BIM-related careers by showcasing role models and maintaining a support mechanism across our network. We also aim to help women excel in their careers by continuously boosting their confidence and expanding knowledge.

Advance and Retain.

Research shows that a number of women are leaving careers in construction after only a few years. WIB wish to celebrate women in BIM roles and provide opportunities for further advancement. This will help to increase the representation of women in senior construction roles.
