About Us
A company’s character is revealed in what it does. Improving the quality of life wherever we do business is part of our heritage and culture and is an indispensable part of achieving our vision — to be the construction group of choice. As building construction manager and general contractor, Wharton-Smith specializes in water treatment, municipal, education, entertainment, and hospitality projects — all the things a community needs to thrive.
Founded in 1984 by Bill Wharton and George Smith, today, our employees are proud to be a part of a company that makes a positive difference in the lives of our clients, our employees and those in the communities where we live and work.
At the heart of our success throughout the years has been our ability to identify and respond to industry opportunities and challenges ahead of the competition. We have ambitious plans. We’ve been laying a dynamic growth path for our company. We want, and expect, to play a larger role in the $3.6 billion building construction industry. We see an opportunity not just to lead in our markets, but to reimagine and transform them.
