About
Built on blueprints,
finished by hand.
River City Build Co is a Richmond-based design-build general contractor. We manage every project from first sketch to final walkthrough — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Who we are
A Richmond design-build GC
We're a Central Virginia general contractor built around one idea: the same team that designs your project builds it. No handoffs between an architect and a separate crew. No gaps in accountability. We handle the design, the permits, and the construction under one license — so your project moves faster and stays on budget.
We serve homeowners and commercial clients across the Greater Richmond region, from Goochland and New Kent to Midlothian and Fredericksburg. Our work is grounded in local code knowledge, real relationships with area trade partners, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time.
Our approach
End to end, under one roof
Every project starts with a conversation and ends with a final walkthrough — and we're present for every step in between. That means concept and design, permit applications and approvals, material selection, and hands-on construction management. We don't outsource the parts that matter most.
We're licensed as a Virginia Class A Contractor and carry full general liability and workers' comp coverage. You'll have a direct line to your project lead — not a call center, not a rotating cast of subs you've never met.

Built to last
We don't cut corners on materials or craftsmanship. Our reputation is built project by project, referral by referral — and we intend to keep it that way.
