CWC Headquarters
Bethesda, MD

A new era of public safety infrastructure has arrived in Prince George’s County with the opening of the state-of-the-art Special Operations Division Headquarters for the Prince George’s County Police Department. The facility was recently featured on NBC4 and FOX5DC, with live coverage highlighting its critical role in supporting law enforcement collaboration and rapid emergency response.

Coakley & Williams Construction proudly sponsored and actively participated in the ABC Regional Construction Summit: Innovating the Future of Construction. This premier event, co-hosted by ABC Chesapeake Shores, ABC Greater Baltimore, ABC of Metro Washington, and ABC Virginia, brought together industry leaders to discuss emerging trends and strategies shaping the construction landscape.

We don’t just build structures - we build careers, opportunities, and a stronger industry. With a 26.6% female workforce - far exceeding the industry average - we’re proud to highlight the incredible contributions of the women of CWC during Women in Construction Week.

While we recently celebrated a new chapter in our history with the opening of our new office in Bethesda, it was time to celebrate the end of another chapter as we celebrated Partner & CFO Joanne Sherwood’s retirement. During her 33-year tenure, she oversaw $5.25 billion worth of revenues (not adjusted for inflation!) and helped establish vital relationships among our Surety, Banking, Insurance, and Auditing partners.

Our new office at 4500 East-West Highway reflects more than just a new chapter for Coakley & Williams Construction—it’s a space that embodies our Build Mindset and celebrates who we are. One of the standout features is a stunning custom mural designed by Matt Corrado.

Earlier this week, we celebrated a monumental milestone in Coakley & Williams Construction’s journey: the ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new office at 4500 East-West Highway in Bethesda, MD.
