We are invested in the Bend community through the Bend Chamber, Central Oregon Builders Exchange, COBA and Economic Development for Central Oregon.”

Fostering a team atmosphere, WOC has established long-term relationships with clients, architects, engineers and subcontractors provides general contractor services, construction management, design build, budgeting, feasibility studies and consultant services for all types of commercial projects.
