 Clark spent 37 years in the field of engineering; he began in the trades at age 14 as an electrician's helper to his brother Russell Clark, who was an electrical subcontractor for [[Dillard's]] stores. William and Russell Clark together owned [[C&C Electric Construction Company]]. William then became a general subcontractor for Dillard's in his purchase of [[Bragg's Electric Construction Company]]. He co-established CDI Contractors in 1987 with [[Dillard's Department Stores]] on a 50-50 basis after the failure of the [[Pickens-Bond Construction Company]]. The "C" and "D" in the company name stand for "Clark" and "Dillard."
-Clark's company CDI Contractors served as general contractor for the [[Clinton Presidential Library]], the [[Heifer International]] headquarters, the new four-building [[Fellowship Bible Church]], the [UAMS Patient Tower]], the [[Arkansas State Police Headquarters]], the Little Rock [[Embassy Suites]], and the [[Arkansas Teacher Retirement System headquarters]]. Beyond Little Rock CDI contracted on the office building complex for Arkansas Nuclear One, Conway Regional CARTI, the Rebsamen Regional Medical Center Doctor's Office Building, and the Beverly Enterprises headquarters. CDI has also served as general contractor on several malls: Orlando's Oviedo Mall, Austin's Lakeline Mall, Albuquerque's Cottonwood Mall, Grapevine's (TX) Embassy Suites, and Richardson's (TX) Marriott Renaissance Hotel.

 The idea behind the design of the Heifer International H.Q. (concentric rings) is that a gift (like a drop of water) at the center has a broader and broader impact on society (ripples). It is a 4-story, semi-circular office building. The roof is inverted in the middle, forming a kind of valley that collects and recycles rainwater. Stability of the building is provided by the floor, which acts as a diaphragm. The use of columns was minimized, and the building is distinctly open.
