Certifications & credentials
Certified. Trusted. Proven.
Steadfast Construction holds MWBE certification from New York City, New York State, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — opening doors to the region's most impactful public projects.
What MWBE Certification Means
Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) certification is a rigorous designation awarded by government agencies to businesses that are at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by minorities and/or women.
For clients working on public contracts — including city agencies, state authorities, and institutional projects — partnering with a certified MWBE contractor like Steadfast helps meet diversity and inclusion requirements while ensuring the highest standard of work.
Steadfast Construction has earned this designation from three separate certifying bodies, reflecting our commitment to transparency, accountability, and excellence.
