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, LEED AP 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 Pharmaceuticals, Ukrop's Super Markets, Inc., First Market Bank, American Family Fitness, CJW Medical Centers, AMF, Second Presbyterian, Petersburg Area Art League and The Fisher House Foundation.

Emerald measures success in three ways:
* By the level of satisfaction of our clients,
* By the quality and safety 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" 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.
