Wurdeman worked for 60 years as a builder and/or architect. He created a type of reinforced concrete using crushed local flint rock and cement from Holland.[3] From 1945 to 1959, he was a partner in Wurdeman and Wurdeman, an architectural firm he co-founded with his son, Harold Wurdeman.[2]
A successor firm Reed, Wurdeman & Associates', with partners Raymond H. Reed and Harold C. Wurdeman, to which Charles H. Wurdeman consulted, continued to 1969.[1] The continuing firm changed its name to Reed, Veach and Wurdeman Associates[3] in 1969, and evolved into telecommunications engineering and billing. In 1996 it became RVW, Inc. and absorbed the firm of Scheiddegger Engineering Company. In 2019 it is still headquartered in Columbus and provides professional services in several areas, still including architectural planning and design.[4]
