Vision: Embracing The Challenges Of The Future

William Charles, headquartered in Rockford, Illinois, U.S., not far from Chicago, is guided by a powerful “Do it right the first time” work ethic that has been the long-standing cornerstone of our philosophy.

We welcome the challenge to continually lead the way into the future by hiring talented people, pursuing the most innovative projects and embracing the latest technology. Part of our vision is to aggressively explore sustainable energy alternatives such as landfill gas-to-energy, geothermal energy, biomass, and solar energy.

Any future we embrace would not be complete without a commitment to giving back to the region. Through our William Howard Charitable Trust, we’ve contributed more than $4 million to not-for-profit organizations for mentally and physically handicapped and economically disadvantaged children.

One thing is for certain: our two business units, Construction Management and Real Estate Development are both determined to lead the way through respectful management of our shared environmental resources.

With over a century of quality work behind our name, William Charles is still guided by the pursuit of excellence and the “Do it right the first time” work ethic that has been at the cornerstone of our business philosophy since 1892. Our attention to the customer and to the highest safety standards are at the very heart of all we do.
