We have been published in many trade and design publications, taught in multiple venues, and are active members of industry groups.

Kolbert Building is a feminist company, and actively combats toxic masculinity in the construction industry.

Our crew is made up of first and second career individuals who come from diverse backgrounds and bring different insights to the company. We aim to foster an inclusive environment devoid of traditional stereotypes, such as the predominantly cisgender, straight white male-dominated workforce often associated with the trades. Our ethos centers on genuine care and respect among colleagues.
