It began in 1984 as a leap of faith for two friends from Ohio and has grown into one of Central Florida's largest general contractor and construction management firms. George Smith and Bill Wharton met in 1966 during their tenure at a construction company in Ohio. The company opened a Florida office in 1975, bringing George and Bill to Central Florida. When the company announced they were moving back to Ohio, George and Bill made an offer to take over the firm's unfinished Florida work. And so, with just a handful of employees, Wharton-Smith was incorporated on April 2, 1984.
