2023 Women in Construction: Amy Fahey, Colantonio Inc.

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? My greatest professional achievement over the past year has been to implement a successful public relations campaign with a terrific publicist. We have increased our firm’s visibility and credibility through a variety of pieces that showcase our expertise in preconstruction services as well as construction means and methods. Not only have I enjoyed sharing helpful content and how great our people are to a wider audience, but my writing skills have also improved dramatically with every draft and subsequent list of edits.

How are you involved in community organizations and/or charities? I participate as a volunteer every year, along with the other women at our firm, at Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester’s Women Build Event. We work together on the jobsite doing anything that needs doing including framing, flooring, painting, and drywall installation. It’s a privilege to help these homeowners in need, especially since 75% of them are single women with families who desperately need this support. I am proud that our firm donates its’ employees time to help make a difference in these women’s lives.
