"We Build - Structures & People"
Bridge Builders Newark was founded in 2014 by Gerald and Cheryl Whitaker to help close the growing gap in the skilled trades workforce. What began as a startup has grown into a trusted, full-service commercial construction firm committed to quality, reliability, and community impact.
​
As a New Jersey Certified Minority and Woman-Owned Small Business Enterprise (M/WBE & SBE), we are dedicated to delivering the highest standards of service and client care.
Mission
At Bridge Builders Newark, our mission is to build more than just structures—we’re building futures, empowering tradesmen and women, and strengthening the communities we serve.
​
We are more than a construction company. One of our core values is rooted in social entrepreneurship. We create pathways for individuals within our community to learn skilled trades and secure employment at competitive wages. By partnering with our clients and business allies, we foster a more vibrant, inclusive, and economically resilient community—one project at a time.
