Cal Wadsworth Construction

What Cal Wadsworth Construction does

Cal Wadsworth Construction (CWC) is a family-owned general contractor founded in 1984 and headquartered at 65 Wadsworth Park Dr. in Draper, Utah. The firm provides full-service general contracting for commercial, civic, and infrastructure projects ranging from $500K to $5M+, operating primarily across Utah and the broader Mountain West region. Over a 40-year history it has completed more than 150 projects representing $170M in contracted work, with the Wadsworth family occupying leadership roles across three generations (Cal Wadsworth as President/Chief Estimator, Chris Wadsworth as COO, Jordan Wadsworth as Manager of Operations & Project Controls, Cory Wadsworth as Senior Superintendent, and Kenley Wadsworth as Project Coordinator, alongside non-family staff). Service categories include General Contracting, Public Spaces & Infrastructure, Historic Restorations, Renovations & Remodels, Transportation, Specialty & Custom Projects, and Construction Consulting.

The business runs on a project-based revenue model: each engagement is individually bid and quoted, with revenue realized as one-time construction contracts plus a professional-services consulting stream. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward public-sector and institutional clients, including Salt Lake City, Park City, Utah DFCM, the National Park Service, FAA, Bureau of Reclamation, Utah Transit Authority, Amtrak, Brigham Young University, the University of Utah, and Utah Hogle Zoo. The company operates a sales-led go-to-market motion with relationship-based business development, complemented by a subcontractor channel managed through a BuildingConnected Plan Room and a recurring Subcontractor of the Quarter program.

Technology deployment is mainstream rather than proprietary: Procore for project management, Planera and Bldr for construction management, BuildingConnected for the Plan Room and bidding, and DJI drones for project documentation. There are no AI/ML capabilities, no app products, no API, and no in-house software development disclosed. Cal Wadsworth Construction is privately held, has no funding rounds or institutional investment, and reports no subsidiaries, M&A activity, or restructuring events. The firm is privately held with no outside capital and operates as a single integrated construction services company rather than a multi-product platform.
