The 2027 Leadership Summit  ·  Costa Rica  ·  January 9–14, 2027
For Owners & Executives in Residential Construction

You built the business. Now you’re responsible for where it goes.

BuildHer is designed for women who already run residential construction companies—or carry executive responsibility within them—and are navigating leadership at the ownership level.

At this stage, success is no longer measured by how well the work gets done. It’s measured by judgment, direction, and sustainability. BuildHer exists to support leaders carrying that weight.

Leadership looks different at the top.

When you own the outcome, leadership becomes less visible—and more consequential. Decisions are no longer about execution alone. They shape culture, risk, people, and long-term viability. Owners and executives are expected to:

  • Set direction without perfect information
  • Balance growth with stability
  • Lead leaders, not just teams
  • Make decisions that affect livelihoods—not just schedules
  • Carry responsibility even when there’s no clear answer

BuildHer provides space to step out of the day-to-day and grow this level of leadership.

Why owners choose BuildHer

Most leadership spaces don’t serve owners well. They are either too tactical or too abstract. BuildHer is built for leaders who are past execution, but still in the work. Residential owners attend to:

  • Gain perspective beyond daily problem-solving
  • Pressure-test decisions with peers who understand ownership
  • Refine how they lead, not only how they operate
  • Learn from women carrying similar responsibility across the industry

This is not a mastermind. It is not just a motivational retreat. It is a focused leadership environment for decision-makers.

What you’ll sharpen

Ownership-Level Clarity

Step back and see your business—and your leadership role—with greater intention.

Strategic Decision-Making

Strengthen how you evaluate risk, opportunity, and long-term impact.

Leadership Sustainability

Learn how to lead in a way that supports growth without personal burnout.

Peer-Level Conversation

Engage in honest dialogue with women who understand the weight of ownership.

Renewed Authority

Return to your business with confidence in how—and why—you lead.

Who this path is for

This experience is designed for women who:

  • Own or co-own a residential construction business
  • Hold executive responsibility within a residential firm
  • Are accountable for outcomes beyond individual projects
  • Value depth, honesty, and peer-level engagement

This is not for early-stage builders. It is for women already carrying leadership responsibility.

Residential owners and commercial executive-track leaders attend the same summit, participate in the same conversations, and engage with the same leadership frameworks. Residential leaders bring lived ownership experience. Commercial leaders bring scale and organizational perspective. The room is stronger because of both.

One Summit. One Room. One Standard.
