Our History

1943

Our Founder, Benjamin R. Harvey, Sr. began the firm’s legacy in 1943 providing by himself expert carpentry, masonry, and concrete work to private shore area clients. His integrity and strength in providing excellent craftsmanship for client and community was both apparent and appreciated. Our company maintains to this day, his principles of fairness, competency, respect, and trust.

1963

In 1963, the company was incorporated in the name by which it is known today. Ben’s two sons, Benjamin R. Harvey, Jr., and George W. Harvey join the firm. This was an era of expansion, not only in the areas served but also in the company’s reputation. The company’s ability to facilitate the construction of large commercial structures became well known. By the 1970’s the company’s service area widened to include the entire State of New Jersey and beyond - reaching as far as the People’s Republic of China where the company acted as a consultant on the construction of pre-engineered buildings.

1984

Benjamin R. Harvey, III joins the family business alongside his father and uncle. Over the next 16 years Ben would work within every position of the company from field to office, acquiring the vast knowledge and skill to bring the company into the forefront of the construction industry. During this time Ben forged through an everchanging industry with reverence facing all conditions, technology advancements and diverse markets.

2000

In 2000, the Harvey Family formally transitions leadership responsibilities to Ben, as president of Ben Harvey Construction. His continued insistence on quality of service, deadlines, responsiveness to client’s needs, emerging technologies, business evaluation and advancement, service to the community and environment safety have risen him above competitors.

2022

Most important to Ben today are the relationships forged and maintained between clients, employees, subcontractors and vendors, an ideology that Benjamin R. Harvey, Sr. strived to establish and cultivate within his company. With the very same founding principles the company looks toward the future. Ben’s two children Emily and Benjamin, IV are now working for the business and will continue the legacy and traditions formed 78 years ago. To this day, Ben Harvey Construction’s success is credited to its employees’ dedication, pride in quality of work, communication amongst clients and partners and practicing the highest level of transparency and professionalism. Ben Harvey Construction is one company, one team and most importantly one family.

Safety

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace across all our project sites. It is our endeavor to ensure that every activity on the construction site is performed in a safe manner.

At Ben Harvey Construction, we follow a strict safety program and OSHA regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of the employees on project sites. Our safety program includes new employee orientation, safety training, project-specific accident prevention plans, and job site surveillance. Our field superintendents implement and enforce safety policies and procedures, as well as to conduct a hazard analysis and daily safety inspections. We periodically employ safety professional advisors, to conduct audits and inspections to ensure all site safety measures are in compliance with the policy and to recommend any additional safety measures be implemented.

Ben Harvey Construction proudly maintains an EMR rating of .699, one of the lowest in the state of New Jersey.

Sustainability

We, at Ben Harvey Construction believe that every step we take to reduce the usage of water and energy will not only contribute to preserving our natural resources but also minimize water and energy usage bills. On project sites, field superintendents implement and enforce our comprehensive Construction Waste Management plan which complies with EPA and GBCI – LEED requirements. Subcontractors who work with us must follow our Construction Waste Management Plan. We encourage Owners and Architects to integrate sustainability goals and LEED requirements in the design and construction documents.
