Once a thriving, independent, Black community, Weeksville remains a powerful symbol of resilience and progress. As part of the NYCDDC Mentoring Program, we’re leading efforts to restore these historic homes. Our goal? To ensure these landmarks stand strong for future generations. Preserving history isn’t just a project—it’s a responsibility. Learn more about Weeksville’s legacy on our blog post: https://lnkd.in/e3kaN8ue #HistoricPreservation #BrooklynHistory #Weeksville

Over three days, experts from across the industry shared insights on best practices, emerging trends, and strategies to drive efficiency and excellence in transportation and aviation projects. As design-build continues to shape the future of construction, events like DBIA provide valuable opportunities to learn, connect, and push the industry forward. At 𝗟𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲, we are proud to be part of these important conversations, reinforcing our commitment to delivering collaborative, innovative, and efficient infrastructure solutions. Looking forward to applying these insights to our work and continuing to support the evolution of design-build.

Last month, our CEO Schillivia Baptiste, P.E., Assoc. DBIA had the incredible opportunity to attend Engineering News-Record Groundbreaking Women in Construction (GWIC) Roundtable—a powerful event dedicated to advancing and empowering women in the construction industry. Over two days, industry leaders came together to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities facing women in construction, share strategies for career growth, and foster meaningful connections. From thought-provoking discussions to impactful networking, GWIC continues to be a driving force in shaping a more inclusive and equitable industry. At Laland Baptiste, we are committed to championing diversity and supporting the next generation of women leaders in construction. Events like GWIC reinforce the importance of mentorship, advocacy, and leadership development for women in our field. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and seeing the impact of these discussions shape the future! #GWIC #WomenInConstruction #ENR #Leadership #DiversityInConstruction #LalandBaptiste

✨💜𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵💜✨ As we continue our series, “Building HER Legacy” we celebrate the notable women in our industries. Pioneers like Emily Warren Roebling, who led the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge, and Zaha Hadid, the visionary architect behind groundbreaking designs, paved the way for future generations. Their resilience, innovation, and leadership continue to inspire.  Click on our website to explore more remarkable women and trailblazers 💪🏿👷🏽♀️👇🏿 https://lnkd.in/eJDi8p6y  #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInAEC #BreakingBarriers

𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆! May we take a moment to reflect on the trailblazing women who have transformed the world through their leadership, innovation, and resilience. From architects designing the skylines of tomorrow, to engineers innovating sustainable solutions and construction leaders bringing these visions to life—women in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) continue to break barriers and redefine what’s possible. Their contributions are not just shaping cities—they are shaping the future for a more inclusive and resilient industry. 👷🏽♀️👩🏻💼👩🏾🔧👷🏾♀️ As a women-owned business, Laland Baptiste understands firsthand the power of representation, resilience, and leadership. We are proud to have strong, talented women as part of our team— Schillivia Baptiste, Afsaneh Eshaghi, Cynthia Tenore, Dawn Langenbach, Janet Faulhaber, Janvi Mangukiya, Kadea Bailey, Klea Papuli, Rosaria Amaral, Tara Maurillo, Kate Thompson — professionals who bring expertise, vision, and dedication to everything we do. Their contributions drive our firm’s success while inspiring future generations of women to pursue careers in AEC. While today is an opportunity to celebrate progress, it is also a call to action. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 2023, women only make up 11.2% of the construction industry workers. Of that 11.2% statistic, only 2.24% of the total workforce of women hold leadership positions. True equality requires continued commitment, at Laland Baptiste, we advocate for a future where more women have access to opportunities, mentorship, and the resources needed to thrive in this industry. But beyond AEC, International Women’s Day is about recognizing ALL women—in every industry and every community around the world—who lead, innovate, and uplift those around them. Their impact is immeasurable, and their achievements deserve to be honored not just one day, but every day. 🌍 💜 Tag a woman in AEC that inspires you! Schillivia Baptiste, P.E., Assoc.
