The Weitz Company, Inc.
 PROFILE
It took wits for The Weitz Company to become a top US general building contractor. Founded in 1855 by carpenter Charles H. Weitz, the company was run by the Weitz family for four generations before becoming employee-owned. It provides general contracting, construction management and design-build services primarily in the western US and builds everything from office buildings, industrial plants, schools, and senior living communities to hotels, golf courses, and malls. The company is entering the home building market with its purchase of Norris Associates, a Colorado-based firm that builds multimillion-dollar homes in well-heeled resort areas in that state, such as Aspen, Breckenridge, and Vail.
