More than you expected. Exactly what you deserve.
That’s what client-driven means to us—and the bar we set for every relationship, interaction, and project milestone. From thorough cost estimating proposals and schedules to sincere and informed counsel, we’re bringing a high-touch experience to Central Virginia construction.
HEALTHCARE
Healthcare facilities are too important to leave to chance. Our team brings the discipline, reliability, and responsiveness that medical environments demand—specializing in the delivery of complex, phased construction projects that support campus expansion and modernization without disrupting care.
INDUSTRIAL
In the world of industrial and logistics, downtime means lost capital. We deliver the coordination, accountability, and design connections clients expect when investing in our region. Whether it’s ground-up flex space or phased warehouse upgrades, we build with precision and hustle to keeps operations moving.
OFFICE
Speed, certainty, and cost control matter more than ever in our cautiously optimistic office market. We bring the mindset and muscle required to build with confidence in Richmond’s competitive midsize market—from MEP-intensive renovations and adaptive reuse projects to high-design tenant buildouts.
RETAIL + Recreation
Richmond’s current lifestyle market presents big opportunity and even bigger demands. Our team offers the know-how to turn complex sites into community anchors. From aging retail shells to modern sports and wellness hubs, we bring practical, field-tested solutions to every public-facing project.

Relationships and Results That Last
“My experience with Emerald was nothing short of exceptional. Their communication and attention to detail throughout the historic renovation of the Church Hill Midas location established their position as a trusted construction partner. Whether it was the daily check-ins with the superintendent, keeping me abreast of the project activities or the commitment to quality by the whole team. The final product is a space I am proud to share with our patrons. I look forward to working with Emerald on any of my future projects.”

“Emerald is the ultimate GC partner with an all-hands-on-deck approach ensuring project success. I have had the pleasure of working with the Emerald team on a ground up construction project as well as various interior build outs. They deliver 100% at every phase, from estimating through design/build coordination and punch list/project turnover. They aim to please by being extremely well-organized, solution-driven, and transparent in all pricing.
