Planning, design, and construction firms have a unique opportunity to advance equity goals by contracting with and supporting disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, and emerging small businesses (DMWESBs). LCA assists you in meeting and exceeding DMWESB participation goals by conducting extensive outreach to identify qualified firms and individuals. By connecting DMWESB firms to the opportunities available on your project, LCA will help you meet qualified firms and individuals who will enhance your project while helping your meet and exceed crucial equity goals.

Once these firms are on the team, LCA provides an enrichment program that enhances the capacity of these firms. Workshops, assessments, and regular check-ins enhance the participation of these firms on your project team.
