At the 2016 HIA “Women in the Building Industry” luncheon, we crossed paths with Nicole Cox, the 2015 winner of the HIA Business Partner Award and author of “The Builder’s Wife” blog. On her blog Nicole shares insights into the challenges of running a construction company with her husband; her personal experiences renovating her beautiful Queenslander at Ipswich; and the stories of other women in the building industry. To quote Nicole, “Everybody has a story”, so here is Danielle’s story, which Nicole generously featured on her blog.
