East West Builders
We Build Upon Every Industry Challenge
Welcome to East West Builders, a corporation founded in 2016 by Jhoie Cruz, a visionary entrepreneur in the construction industry. Jhoie immigrated to the United States from the Philippines in 2007 with a mission to build a better life for herself and her family.
Jhoie's journey in the construction industry began in 2008 when she joined another contractor as an assistant. Over the years, she worked her way up to become the company's CFO, where she gained in-depth knowledge of construction and construction law. Along the way, Jhoie also noticed the lack of representation of women in the construction industry, and she was determined to make a difference.
Jhoie founded East West Builders with a vision to venture into building projects with the federal government. From 2016 to 2020, the company focused on tenant-in-place rehabilitation of affordable elderly housing units, which involved painting, finishing, carpentry, plumbing, and flooring tasks. Jhoie's expertise in Davis Bacon projects and government/state requirements enabled the company's operations to flow seamlessly.
Today, East West Builders has embarked on a new industrial journey, where Jhoie's expertise and vision are essential in contributing to economic growth and the community. The company remains committed to excellence and delivering quality construction services to clients.
