Our Why
Steel Works Construction (SWC) is a privately held minority owned Construction Management company, founded by Jonathan Bowser. As Founder, CEO and President, his vision is to provide Construction Services to private and public entities in areas such as residential, commercial, and industrial with diversity and inclusion at the forefront. SWC’s charter is to pursue public and private construction work that requires minority participation as a Tier 1 Contractor and partner with Tier 2 minority, women and disadvantaged owned subcontractors to facilitate and expand contracting opportunities. In February of 2022, SWC received its MBE Certification, making it a certified Minority Business Enterprise.
“It’s a passion of mine… I want to see more minorities and women in the construction field. There are a lot of opportunities for high paying jobs and careers, in addition to entrepreneurship opportunities. I want to do my part in introducing those opportunities to woman and minorities. In addition, this is a natural progression for me and our team. We have managed our own construction projects over the last several years and have been successful. Naturally the next step is to bring portions of the construction process in-house and serve our needs but also the needs of our clients and partners. For our clients, our value add is that we are also developers and landowners, so we understand the process from start to completion.”
