FACE OF COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION CLARK CONTRACTORS, LLC

Tell us about the history of your business.

Founded in 2009 by William Clark, Clark Contractors prioritizes honesty, integrity, and teamwork. Danny Bennett, one of the original founding partners, retired in December 2021. William Clark is CEO, and Shannon Earls, another founding partner, serves as President. We opened regional offices in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas in 2010 and Northwest Arkansas in 2015. In February 2022, we relocated our Northwest Arkansas operations to a larger space in Rogers, Arkansas to accommodate our growth in NWA.

What is the most important thing you do for Arkansans?

The structures we build touch many vital aspects of Arkansas’ economy, from health care spaces for healing and care to education spaces for learning and discovery. We also build hospitality spaces for leisure and travel and commercial spaces for business and industry. By bringing drawings and plans to life, we shape and define the built environment, leaving a lasting impact on Arkansans for years to come.

What are your organization’s goals for the next few years?

We are looking at ways to expand how we use construction technology on projects, with a focus on our drone and BIM programs, and we’re also promoting diversity and inclusion in our company and in the construction industry. Additionally, we are working on training the next generation of construction management professionals.

What else should our readers know about you?

Clark Contractors was formed in 2009, but we are proud to say that many of our employees have been working together for much longer. In fact, many have worked together throughout their entire construction careers. This camaraderie is reflected in an average tenure of 22 years for our management team – a remarkable feat in the ever-changing and dynamic construction industry. At Clark Contractors, the family-like bond is not just a saying; it’s a lived reality.
