Founded in 1984 by George Smith and Bill Wharton, Wharton-Smith Inc. has grown from a small firm in Central Florida into one of the region’s largest general contractors and construction management companies. The company specializes in a wide array of projects including water treatment facilities, educational institutions, municipal buildings, and hospitality ventures. With a commitment to community betterment, Wharton-Smith focuses on impactful projects that enhance the quality of life for residents.
The company prides itself on its foundational values of trust, integrity, and accountability, which have shaped its culture and business practices. This ethos is further reflected in the company's approach to leadership and employee development, as they believe in inspiring rather than managing teams to achieve excellence. Wharton-Smith's seasoned leadership, many of whom have been with the company since its inception, plays a vital role in fostering innovation and adaptability in a competitive construction landscape.
Wharton-Smith is also dedicated to giving back, partnering with numerous local charities and educational organizations to uplift the communities they serve. Their extensive network supports a collaborative work environment that benefits both clients and local subcontractors, ensuring access to top talent and resources. As the company looks to the future, it aims to expand its influence in the $3.6 billion construction industry by not only meeting but exceeding client expectations, maintaining their reputation as the construction group of choice.
