Wharton-Smith consistently ranks as the top Southeast contractor in the delivery of water supply projects, according to Engineering News Record (ENR) Southeast magazine. Our expertise ranges across all water and wastewater process technologies. Our work began in the water and wastewater market in Central Florida in 1984. It has since grown to cover the Southeastern United States. We have built our reputation in this market by providing the highest quality product at the most competitive price. Whether through competitive low bids, or selected via design-build or Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) project delivery, our team of degreed and registered engineers have the expertise and experience to deliver the very best value to our clients.

Over the years, we have touched the grounds of more than 200 educational campuses helping to create new environments that encourage students to learn and grow. Our experienced field personnel are masters at coordination and working with stakeholders to provide efficient and quality construction while keeping students and faculty safe.

Connecting people by building and transforming public spaces brings our company’s vision to life – to be the construction group of choice for the communities we serve. The decision to build a new facility, or expand an existing space is driven by economic growth, or the need to revitalize under-served areas, or competition from nearby municipalities. Often these facilities are signature designs in challenging urban sites with tightly prescribed timetables and budgets. We understand how to work within these parameters. See how we’ve helped clients improve our neighborhoods, communities and city gathering places.

A vibrant community center provides a gathering place for all ages to engage in educational, social, and recreational opportunities. A community center is often the heart of the community itself – a place where we reach out to neighbors, make new friends, and improve our quality of life. For some neighborhoods it’s a social environment, for others it’s a safe haven. In either case, it is an opportunity for Wharton-Smith to help transform the community…one building block at a time.

As an acknowledged leader in entertainment project construction, Wharton-Smith has significant experience building animal exhibits, attractions, aquariums, parks and zoos. From roller coasters, replicating natural habitats and recreational aquatic features, to the elaborate theming that enhances the visitors experience – we could say that we are in the business of fun!

Wharton-Smith also has gained significant international experience in projects ranging from aquatic parks to hotels/hospitality, support projects for the U.S. military and environmental projects.

No Job Too Small. The key to successfully managing continuing service contracts is being available to serve clients when and where you are needed, and often times at the drop of a hat. Our reputation for personal service has led to over a dozen continuing service contracts, many for repeat clients. Because this is a core business for us, we have created special teams to handle every request that comes to us in a timely and cost effective way, no matter how big or small.

These projects have included modifications to major building systems to meet current occupancy and life safety codes, interior renovations for improved functionality, ADA upgrades, aesthetic remodel projects that improve the visual appearance and experience for occupants and guests, and much more.
