Pioneering group of women blazing a trail amid growing demand for female tradies in construction sector
Jenny Heath was a dental nurse until her builder partner Dylan convinced her to help him build their dream home together.
"It is not what I thought I would do at all," she said.
"I actually ended up loving it."
She enjoyed the work so much she signed up for a carpentry certificate and in November, the couple finished construction of their five-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast.
Beaming with pride, she said they built the house "from the ground up": Digging holes and pouring concrete; putting in the footings, frames and support beams; building the deck; putting on plasterboard and cladding; laying the flooring and installing the windows and doors.
