Shevaughn Visser says growing up with brothers seemed to have been a no-brainer by which career path she would follow, as did having a grandfather that always had her by his side fixing up the house.
“I grew up quite the ladylike tomboy, not afraid of any challenge life threw at me. I always said, ‘If a man can do it, I can do it better!’,” laughs Shevaughn.
Graduating through Cambridge University homeschooling and working for her family business in engineering and hydraulics, then meeting her husband Derrick – a qualified builder – got Shevaughn into the trade. “Derrick inspired me to be the best I can be, and that if anything ever happened to him I would be able to see and fend for myself.
“Fem Build shows women that we too can do it. There is no task too big or too small if you just put your heart and soul into it,” says Shevaugh. “It is not an easy trade to be in, and every day I am still learning. But having a woman on site really works – we see more detail and intricate finer details to give it that perfect finishing touch.”
