84 Lumber, a woman-owned company, celebrated Women in Construction Week from March 1–7, 2026, by recognizing the women shaping the future of construction. A certified national women’s business enterprise owned by Maggie Hardy, 84 Lumber remains committed to empowering women and creating opportunities for them to thrive across the construction sector.
The company is highlighting the stories of three 84 Lumber associates who represent the wide range of roles available to women in construction: Alexandria Barber, manager trainee at 84 Lumber’s Ballston Spa, New York, store; Isabelle Schroeder, customer sales manager in South Boston; and Allison Young, director of regional accounts for the Western division, based in Denver.
“Women in Construction Week is about more than recognition, it’s about visibility, opportunity, and momentum,” says Amy Smiley, vice president of marketing at 84 Lumber. “Supporting women at every stage of their careers strengthens our company and strengthens our industry.”
