Barbara K Enteprises

For more than fifteen years Barbara Kavovit has been a force to be reckoned with within the construction business and women's how-to. In 1995, she established and was chief executive of what grew to be one of the biggest female owned renovation and construction management firms in New York City. When I was younger, it never occurred to me that construction was a career path for women, she says of her early foray into the building business.
