Founded in 1996, Charles Williams & Associates, Inc. was established to provide a full spectrum of architectural services, including design, project management, and construction administration. With over 20 years of prior experience, founder Charles E. Williams has successfully developed CWA, Inc. into a leading provider of professional services. Over the years, CWA, Inc. has delivered architectural solutions across a diverse range of sectors, serving municipalities, school systems, transit systems, colleges and universities, medical practices, religious institutions, and various private enterprises. Today, our founding principles of trust and commitment remain at the core of a talented team that delivers distinctive solutions, resulting in enduring structures that exceed expectations.
At Charles Williams & Associates, Inc., we approach architecture as a means to an end—one that starts with building strong, trust-based relationships with our clients. Design, at its essence, is about finding solutions that effectively address programmatic needs. We achieve this by establishing clear communication and a deep understanding of both client and user requirements, ensuring that trust between architect and client is not only maintained but strengthened throughout the process. This foundation of trust fosters open dialogue, allowing clients to share their issues, needs, and desires openly. By thoroughly assessing all direct and indirect factors, we can clearly identify needs and progress toward effective, lasting solutions.
Our mission is to deliver results that align with the client’s vision while considering budget, schedule, and environmental responsibility. We believe that architecture serves as both a process and a product. The 'means' is an intangible relationship built on trust and professionalism, allowing a project to achieve its full potential. The 'end' is a physical structure that fulfills programmatic, functional, and financial goals for both the client and end-user. Charles Williams & Associates, Inc. is committed to providing the pathway from concept to completion, turning client aspirations into reality.
