Who is The Lady Builder
The Woman in the Hard Hat is Erica Alexis
Erica “The Lady Builder” Alexis is the founder and owner of Bridgeline Construction, a B-licensed general contractor and accomplished developer with over $30 million in design-build projects under her leadership. A bay area native, her journey began in real estate development in 2002, but by 2015, she knew she wanted to do more than invest—she wanted to build. Starting with her own hands constructing new homes and renovating multifamily units, Erica quickly scaled to managing multimillion-dollar public works and infrastructure projects, earning a reputation for not stopping until the job is done with excellence.
​
A proud University of California Los Angeles and University of Southern California Ross graduate and legacy-driven entrepreneur, Erica draws inspiration from her late grandfather’s work ethic and vision. She founded Bridgeline to challenge the status quo and redefine what leadership looks like in construction. With a belief that there is power in feminine leadership and purpose-driven development, Erica is building more than structures—she’s building pathways to access, opportunity, and lasting impact. Through Bridgeline, she champions community-first urban development and sets a new standard of excellence for the next generation.

Herstory
A street in Nashville, Tennessee bears the Dennis family name—a lasting tribute to a legacy of craftsmanship passed down through generations, and a baton now carried by great-granddaughter Erica Alexis.
​
B.F. Dennis Sr., a father of seven, instilled in each of his children the values of hard work, integrity, and mastery of trade. Together, they built a thriving construction business rooted in excellence. His son, B.F. Dennis Jr.—known as the “Michelangelo” of concrete masonry—left his mark on the Bay Area through iconic work and passed the legacy of excellence and a relentless spirit to his granddaughter, Erica Alexis in Los Angeles, Ca.
​
Today, that legacy lives on through Bridgeline Construction. What began as a family trade has grown into a multimillion-dollar company with active projects across Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Nashville, and a vision for global expansion through large-scale vertical developments.
​
Bridgeline is not just building structures—it’s building a future where legacy, innovation, and impact rise together.
"In 2015 I started with a vision to build a company that would become the most trusted vertical builder in the construction industry.
​
I remember when getting the General B Contractors license was my biggest feat. It’s incredible who I became through that process—not just a licensed builder, but a leader transformed by the weight and responsibility the title carries.
​
After my family lost everything in the 2008 downturn, I was determined to rebuild our legacy from the ground up. I had no crew, no license, and only $40,000 in savings with an unshakeable belief in my ability to create a company of value. Even after a failed business partnership cost me a $250,000 loss, and forced me to sleep on a friend's couch, I chose faith over failure.
I took a moment the other day on a hillside project to not only reflect on how the loss didn't break me but lit a fire in me for what began as a one-person operation to become a team. A real force. We now have the credentials, the license, the bank capacity, and a portfolio that qualifies us to compete at a large-scale construction level.
The next five years? One word: Excellence.
We’re scaling globally, building more than just structures—we’re building legacy, communities, and trust. It will be exciting to see how what started from scratch quickly becomes a name that matters in this industry.
I love the impossible moments that turn into proof of what's possible and most importantly I love everyone who stands behind Bridgeline... I won't let us down.
Only up from here. Bridgeline to the finish line."
