The hierarchy of construction refers to the chain of command, responsibilities, and reporting relationships used to organize both [construction companies and individual building projects].

We’re talking jobsite culture, construction hierarchy, careers, money, leadership, power, stereotypes, and what it’s really like to build a career in a male-dominated industry.

From the apprentice trying to find her place, to the electrician running the job, to the project manager calling the shots—we’re breaking down who does what, who answers to whom, how the industry really works, and how women are navigating their way through it.

And yes, we can talk RFIs and hierarchy while still talking hair, heels, acrylics, confidence, relationships, and the occasional “Are you seriously asking me that?” moment.

Hosted by women who know the construction world from the inside, Hard Hats & Acrylics brings honest conversations, hilarious stories, industry reality checks, career advice, and plenty of opinions from the people actually wearing the hard hats.

Because you can love your power tools and still have a fresh set of acrylics.
