This year we’re thrilled to celebrate Women in Construction Week by showcasing the talented women who make up our organization and industry. Meet Angie Ziegelmann, Office Manager at GCM Construction!
Years in the industry?
30
What’s your favorite project you’ve worked on?
Project managing several homes at once when we were short-staffed. From the selections to scheduling, making decisions for subs, and seeing that they got paid. I also handled all of the closings for each of the homes that I worked on. It was a huge challenge and one that I am proud to say I did pretty well solving. I also had a great support team behind me. It was a great time for me to see and prove what I was made of!
How did you get started in the construction industry?
I started as a bookkeeper in 1994, and have done everything short of estimating since. I have been the owner, qualified license holder, framer, project manager, and contract negotiator with my ex-husband. Now I am the office manager for GCM Companies, doing both commercial and residential.
Why is it important to celebrate women in construction?
Women help bring balance to construction. Women have different perspectives and ideas that tend to bring new visions to construction.
How are you celebrating WIC Week?
I will be participating in my local activities as much as possible for WIC Week!
