Whether you are minority-owned, black-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, disadvantaged, disabled, LGBTQ or a small business contractor, we at Turner Construction – Iowa want to meet and learn about you! We’re always looking for ways to build connections with our local UBE businesses and learn how we as an industry can better help set you up for success.

Enjoy breakfast on us as you meet Iowa leadership and learn about the great things Turner is working on. Take advantage of the opportunity to not only meet the General Contractor but also showcase your business with pride.

Construction Inclusion Week

Construction Inclusion Week is the first effort to harness the collective power of general contractors, specialty contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. Initially launched in 2021 as an industry-wide awareness initiative, Construction Inclusion Week aims to build awareness of the need to improve diversity and inclusion in the construction industry by providing content and resources.

Supplier diversity is vital to the sustainability of the construction industry. The demographics of the United States are rapidly changing, and our industry must also change in order to grow and thrive. From our workforce to our customers to our supply chain and trade partners, every aspect of our industry is becoming more diverse, and the future of construction will be very different from the past. Supplier diversity represents a necessary turning point in how we operate as an industry.
