Episode 192-In this inspiring episode of The Build Zone Podcast, brought to you by the ABC Self Insured Group, we shine a spotlight on the people helping shape the future of the construction industry—starting with this week’s guest, Sarah Reinhard. Sarah is a Business Development Representative at Structis and was recently nominated in recognition of Women in Construction Week—a well-deserved acknowledgment of the work she’s doing to move the industry forward.

During our conversation, Sarah shares her unique journey into construction and how she found her place in a field that continues to evolve and welcome more diverse voices. Like many people in the trades, her path wasn’t perfectly linear—but it was driven by curiosity, determination, and a willingness to learn. She talks about the experiences that shaped her career and how those moments ultimately led her to Structis, where she now helps connect people, projects, and opportunities across the industry.

We also dive into what business development really looks like in the construction world. Sarah explains how relationship-building, communication, and trust are essential components of successful projects long before a shovel hits the ground. She offers an inside look at how professionals in her role support contractors, partners, and clients while helping organizations grow strategically.

Of course, we couldn’t talk to Sarah without discussing the importance of Women in Construction Week. She shares what the nomination means to her personally and why recognizing women in the industry is so important—not just for visibility, but for encouraging the next generation to see construction as a place where they belong. From mentorship to leadership opportunities, Sarah highlights the progress that’s been made and the work that still lies ahead.

Listeners will also hear Sarah’s perspective on what makes the construction community special. She talks about the pride that comes with building something tangible, the collaboration required across every trade, and the sense of accomplishment that comes when a project finally comes together.

Whether you’re already working in construction, considering a career in the trades, or simply curious about the people behind the projects that shape our communities, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration.

Tune in for a conversation about opportunity, perseverance, and the growing impact of women helping lead the construction industry into the future.
