Emerald Construction Company opened its office in April, 1993.  Located in Richmond, Virginia, Emerald has built its reputation on being "CLIENT-DRIVEN"- building relationships with customers and assisting them with all of their construction needs. Emerald is proud of the fact that over 90% of our clients return for repeat business.

As Co-Owner Doug Hilemn states: "We want to be the first contractor an Owner or Architect consider when they have a construction need, no matter how large or small."

Gib DeShazo, Co-Owner, adds, "And we'll stay with the Owner's team long after the project is completed, whatever the construction request. We are CLIENT-DRIVEN...before, during, and after the project."

Our customer base includes several Fortune 500 companies, as well as Owners who have smaller operations. Clients include Wyeth Consumer Healthcare/Pharmaceuticals, Ukrop's Super Markets, Inc., First Market Bank, Wolseley/Ferguson, AMF, CJW Medical Centers, and The Fisher House Foundation.

Emerald measures success in three ways:
* By the level of satisfaction of our clients,
* By the quality of our work,
* By knowing that our clients will call on us again for repeat business.

Projects include warehouse/distribution centers, retail users, office, hospitality/multi-family, pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities, and recreational facitilies.

Services offered are tailored to specific client needs:
* Preconstruction
* General Construction
* Design/Build Consultants
* Construction Management
* Tilt-Up Construction

Our firm employs a skilled staff of 28 full time construction professionals. We endorse a Team approach to project delivery. Our experience confirms that this concept is a timely and cost-effective procedure for any construction program.

Communication is key in this industry, and Emerald utilizes state-of-the-art software to enhance this communication:
* Primavera SureTrak and Microsoft Project for schedules and updates,
* Primavera "Contract Manager" (Expedition) for tracking submittals, requests for information, requests for proposals and project issues,
* Timberline Gold for cost control by transferring and transposing Timberline estimating costs into job costs. Also tracks payroll, subcontractor and material costs.
