Women in Property’s Building Balance 'Leading with Trust' Report

The Building Balance survey in 2024 set out to find out what the reality was of the cost and availability of childcare and work-life balance in the construction and property industry. Since then, through our discussions and focus groups, it has become clear that this story applies to everyone, across teams, across organisations and represents what needs to become a clear cultural and societal shift.  

It is not just about childcare and it is not just a 'women's issue', this is everyone's issue.

The Building Balance Survey was designed and authored by Helen James for Women in Property.  Helen, formerly of Gleeds, is an Associate at JLL and a committee member of Women in Property, South West Branch.
