Over two decades ago, Dominique Gill fell in love—not with a person, but with construction. From the very first moment, she was swept away by the possibilities and began envisioning a future in the industry. But like many love stories, the reality wasn’t always ideal. The relationship felt one-sided, with Dominique constantly making compromises in an industry that often felt resistant to change.
Determined to make a difference, she founded Urban Core—a construction company built on the belief that the industry can be better. Her mission is to create a more inclusive, transparent, and sustainable construction culture. One that’s welcoming to both men and women, safe for all, and driven by purpose. Because the industry doesn’t just need change—it deserves it.

“I wasn’t handed a seat at the table, I built my own. Now I show others how to do the same.”
