Coakley & Williams Construction has been building the DMV for more than 60 years. After adding three new partners to the company's ownership team in 2020, we are proud to announce that two more outstanding colleagues have joined the partnership - Project Executive Jon Fox and Superintendent Eric Van Why.

Jon joined CWC as an intern and laborer at 17, then worked his way up, taking on additional responsibilities for the past 20 years. Eric has worked in the construction industry for 17 years and is a driving force for innovation at CWC. Both were honored in 2020 with the company's Founders Awards for demonstrating the highest levels of integrity and professionalism within CWC, the community, and the construction industry. Congratulations, Jon and Eric! Watch our video to learn more about the newest CWC partners.
