History

“On time and within budget isn’t a goal, it’s a given,” is the mantra of founder & CEO of Empire Construction, Charles Roberts. This commitment is a legacy of Charles’ brother Bill Roberts, who founded Roberts Construction in 1976. After years of success in business and in the community, Bill transitioned from businessman and Denver City Councilman to Deputy Mayor & Manager of Public Works, City & County of Denver in 1991.

Following Bill’s departure, Charles founded Empire Construction Services. The new venture inherited the experience, employees, and the goodwill earned by Roberts Construction Company. They also inherited the commitment to reliability and responsibility that is the cornerstone or Empire’s success today.

Community Impact

Business & Economic Growth

Empire is committed to expanding the opportunities available to minority and women owned businesses (M/WBEs). Our objective is to improve the economic viability of these firms through outreach and education as well as through direct partnerships. Empire has a legacy of mentoring and developing these firms as subcontractors, giving them the opportunity to become successful members of the construction industry.

Empire Legacy

Empire Construction’s community outreach program, Empire Legacy, works with local schools and community organizations to expose youth to the fields of design, engineering and constructing—fostering those interests and offering ourselves as role models. Our programs promote diversity (race, gender and age) and we maintain ongoing relationships with schools, administrators, civic organizations and students in an effort to cultivate future industry leaders. Through our non-profit, The Roberts Foundation, we have provided scholarships and other programs for students who are seeking a better tomorrow.
