EDA CONTRACTORS, INC.

Company culture is important in every industry, but in construction where there are increased rates of injury, addiction, and turnover, it should be even more important. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case. At EDA Contractors, we don’t just emphasize the importance of culture in the workplace, we live it in everything we do. This starts with our promise of being successful together and extends to each of our values. #workplaceculture #culture #contractors

Did you know that slate and copper are among the most sustainable building materials? Slate is a natural, long-lasting material, while copper is one of the most easily recycled metals. For #GlobalRecyclingDay, we are highlighting Bregenzer Brothers Company, Inc.'s Ewing, NJ, office, which features key additions made from these eco-friendly materials. Repurposing them adds character to the space while reflecting commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. By choosing locally sourced, durable, and recycled materials, we can build a greener future without compromising on quality.

For this weeks #FieldFriday, we visited Paul Robeson Charter School in Trenton, NJ, where our crews are hard at work bringing another project to life! Right now, our roofing team is installing an EPDM roofing system, ensuring a durable, watertight seal to protect the building for years to come. Soon, our carpentry crews will finish the exterior envelope with single skin aluminum panels, adding both durability and a sleek, modern look to the school. We’re excited to share the final results of this project later this year!

On the latest episode of Labor Lounge Podcast , Ed DeAngelis challenges the misconception that union labor is too expensive to be profitable. As a union contractor, EDA has seen firsthand how skilled, well-paid workers improve efficiency, reduce error, and drive profitability. Ed also discusses the critical role of collective bargaining in securing fair wages, healthcare, and benefits, all key factors in strengthening the middle class and maintaining a stable workforce. EDA and unions share a common goal, finding strength in being Successful Together. While it’s our promise, it’s also the foundation of union labor: skilled workers, fair wages, and collective success driving the industry forward. Thank you Labor Lounge for providing a chance to have such a thoughtful discussion!

Worship of Tools Day is here and we know that great tools are only as useful as the skilled hands that use them. Today, we’re recognizing both the incredible equipment that drives our efficiency and the talented team behind it. In our fabrication shop, our brake machines are used in nearly every single EDA project. From the pre-fab process, to ensuring precise cuts and bends for every project, these tools truly drive EDA’s success. Thanks to the expertise of our fabrication team, these breaks help us deliver accuracy, efficiency, and high-quality results before materials even reach the job site.

Our success is built on the strength of our team and the values we uphold every day. To celebrate Employee Appreciation Day, we asked our employees to share what they appreciate most about their peers, and their words reflect the collaboration, humility, and respect that define our culture. Recognizing an employee or coworker isn’t just a kind gesture; it reinforces the values we put into action at EDA. Take a moment today to show appreciation for someone on your team and remind them of the impact they make!
