Example: how a Newark construction subcontractor would get started
This is an illustration of our process, not a client story.
A Newark construction subcontractor wants public work. We register it in SAM.gov and NJSTART, and prepare New Jersey SBE, MBE or WBE certification if it qualifies. We register it with the Port Authority and NJ Transit, and prepare DBE certification for federally funded transportation work. Then we identify general contractors that need certified subcontractors.
