Ethical Language Guidance

Gender History

Construction and building trades were male-unionized professions with explicit barriers to women workers. 'Builder' carries assumed maleness and erases women's architectural and construction contributions.

Inclusive Usage

Use 'builder' or 'construction professional'; specify 'women builders' or 'women in construction' to address underrepresentation.

Inclusive Alternatives

["construction professional","creator","developer"]

Empowerment Note

Women architects and engineers—from Zaha Hadid to countless unnamed construction workers—built modern infrastructure despite exclusion from unions, financing, and credit.
