We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Diagnostic, designed specifically for organisations in the built environment sector.


Clients, investors and employees now expect firms to demonstrate visible progress on EDI. From winning tenders to attracting and retaining talent, EDI is increasingly a business-critical issue. Yet many organisations struggle to know where to start - or which actions will have the biggest impact.


Our EDI Diagnostic provides an independent baseline and a practical roadmap for progress. It is suitable for:

  • Organisations taking their first steps into EDI and needing a clear starting point.

  • Organisations already on their EDI journey who want to identify gaps, risks and blind spots before moving to the next stage.


What the Diagnostic delivers

  • Independent baseline audit - a clear view of current strengths and gaps.

  • Key risks & quick wins - helping firms focus effort where it will deliver the most value.

  • Practical roadmap - phased actions to support long-term, measurable change.


The process

The Diagnostic is delivered through a structured online consultation with leadership HR, Communications, Procurement and other relevant teams, followed by a draft report for review and agreement. In just a few weeks, firms receive a baseline report that identifies opportunities and next steps.


Why it matters

In a sector where EDI is increasingly linked to reputation, tendering success and workforce resilience, our Diagnostic helps organisations move from good intentions to measurable progress - whether you are just starting out, or already on your journey and seeking to strengthen what you’ve built.


For more information or to request an EDI Diagnostic for your organisation, please contact us sharon@constructingrainbows.co.uk or download the overview flyer.

It's very insightful to highlight how many organizations struggle with where to even begin their EDI journey, especially given its increasing business-critical importance. The promise of a practical roadmap and an independent baseline audit sounds incredibly useful for firms in the built environment. This kind of clear, structured guidance is essential for turning good intentions into measurable progress, almost like how foundational elements in infinite craft combine to build something significant.
