Monica Williams, Vice President - Financial Controller
When Monica Williams became the full-time Vice President of Finance in the burgeoning Steve Williams Custom Homes business in June of 1990, she brought with her a strong financial background. Her professional experience began back in 1980 with a position at Hong Kong bank, where she progressed to supervisor of the operations area of the international bank. Monica continued her financial education through the American Institute of Banking. Her responsibilities with our company include overseeing all accounting aspects of the business, payroll and human resource administration (including employee benefits and the company’s 401K plan), City, State and Federal tax returns and compliance, and the cash management of the company.

In addition to her superb skills and acumen, Monica’s presence brings an element of “family business” to Steve Williams Custom Homes, reminiscent of the family Home Center that preceded our company. As husband and wife as well as President and Vice-President, Steve and Monica are partners in life as well as in business. Steve runs the operational side of the company, and Monica is responsible for the finance. Together they provide a winning combination that enhances the culture and atmosphere of the company, and symbolizes the personal touch that goes into each project.

Paul Ferlito, Executive Vice President
Paul Ferlito joined Steve Williams Custom Homes in 1995 after 16 years in the commercial construction industry. His experience includes project management, contract administration, procurement, and expediting on a wide range of projects. In addition to his commercial and residential construction experience, Paul’s background includes nuclear power facilities, cogeneration, hazardous waste remediation, public infrastructure, and environmental monitoring. He has developed computer applications to evaluate construction projects from design through completion.

Paul’s commercial project management background has proven to be an invaluable asset on several of our projects. Paul’s project-related responsibilities begin with project development, by value engineering design and establishing the budget. The budget is monitored closely throughout the project by monitoring the productivity of our in-house labor, subcontractor performance, and supplier pricing. Communication with the client is essential to ensure that we deliver a finished home that meets the client’s needs. This involves verifying the design and material selection, qualifying subcontractors, ordering materials, and continually evaluating our subcontractors and suppliers to ensure they are providing the combination of quality and price that our company requires and our clients deserve.

Paul earned an Associate in Applied Science degree in Business Administration from Nassau Community College and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, with a minor in Business Administration, from the State University of New York. He has completed the University of Washington Construction Management Certificate Program, and he has also completed course work toward a Masters Degree in Construction Management at the University of Washington.
