520			_aThis paper presents an empirical review of women's roles within the industry and the ways in which people make sense of their working experience when traditional gender roles are challenged. Based on qualitative research, the study found that men in the industry, regarded as the gatekeepers, are now finding ways to respond to and make sense of a changing workplace. Women are now actively encouraged to participate, legally protected against discriminination and more highly represented in non-traditional areas of the construction industry.
