A look back at 2024: Highlighting Leon Williams Contractors’ biggest projects of the year

In what feels like the blink of an eye, 2024 is just over a week away from ending. It feels like yesterday that our experts were preparing to kick off another great year of projects. Much has changed over the course of a year, not just with our team, but within the construction industry as a whole. According to the AIA, spending on nonresidential buildings was projected to increase over by 7% by the end of this year.

As a design-build contractor who loves partnering with local communities, our team at Leon Williams Contractors completed several projects over the past year. From renovation work to new builds, we take pride in delivering excellent projects that meet our client’s goals within budget and on time.

Over the past 365 days, here are three projects that we are extremely proud of.

Fort Craig Renovation – Completed in September

Once one of Maryville’s first public schools, our experts were hired to perform a complete renovation of the historic Fort Craig building. After almost a year of renovation work, we completed the project in September. Now, the renovated building serves as the new home to the Maryville City School District Office, Maryville Academy – the district’s alternative learning center, and Maryville Virtual School.

Douglas Cherokee Head Start – Completed in June

Children are our future, and Leon Williams Contractors was proud to do our part in helping provide Maryville with affordable childcare by partnering with Douglas Cherokee Head Start on their new center. The foundation for the project was laid in October 2023, and we were excited to complete the structure in June.

Blount County Office Building – Completed in April

In October 2023, we had the pleasure of partnering with the local government to begin working on an office building that would eventually house critical services in Blount County. The project was completed in April and included office spaces and a modern kitchen. It was amazing to partner with local officials for this special project.

As the clock inches closer to 2025, the Maryville commercial construction experts at Leon Williams Contractors are excited to see what the new year brings. If you are ready to partner with a trusted local contractor, give our team a call at (865) 982-1734 or contact us online.
