Kim and Tara met while running the estimating department of a medium-sized general contracting firm. Theirs is a partnership and working chemistry that is rare among women in construction. They founded XGC Consulting with a vision to provide the ultimate pre-construction experience.
Kim McCarthy is a Professional Quantity Surveyor, a Gold Seal Certified Estimator and past-president of the Hamilton-Halton Construction Association (the first female to hold the position in the association's 98 year history!). Tara Myers is a Professional Engineer and a Gold Seal Certified Project Manger. She started her career in the Oil and Gas sector working on design and engineering before transitioning to project management.
In this episode we talk about the influence of our supportive dads, being empathetic task-masters, the joys of construction estimating and the dynamics of positive business partnerships with other women.
