As we continue recognizing the women helping shape the construction industry, we’re highlighting Tina Walker, Director of Architectural Design at .

Inspired early on by TV shows featuring architects and civil engineers, Tina developed a passion for design and space planning that led her into a career spanning more than three decades. She began as an Associate Space Planner before moving to Las Vegas, where she spent years as a Senior Project Manager overseeing interior tenant fit-ups for major hospitality and commercial projects. One of the more memorable moments in her career even included meeting Evel Knievel in Butte, Montana to discuss museum design concepts.

After supporting her daughter’s journey as a 2022 U.S. Olympic qualifier, Tina returned to the industry and now brings her experience to the design-build sector at NorthPoint Construction Management in Hudson, NH. In her role as Director of Architectural Design, she leads a growing team focused on delivering high-end results while maintaining strong project efficiency and cost control.

Tina’s long career, leadership, and passion for design are a great example of the many talented women contributing to the construction industry.

Construction safety trends are worth paying attention to. A recent Construction Executive article analyzing 2025 safety incident data highlights when and where incidents are most likely to happen — including a noticeable spike mid-morning, as crews shift from planning into active work. https://constructionexec.com/article/where-when-how-analyzing-2025-construction-safety-incidents/

At ABC NH/VT, this kind of data reinforces why we emphasize daily safety conversations, situational awareness, and speaking up on the jobsite. Understanding patterns helps crews stay focused, especially during transitions when risk can increase.

Safety isn’t one policy or one moment — it’s an ongoing practice, every day, on every site.
