Meet the Builders

Element Construction is built around a belief that great projects are created by great people. Behind every project is a team of project managers, supervisors, and craftspeople dedicated to doing things the right way. We value professionalism, communication, attention to detail, respect for our clients, and pride in our work. These principles guide every decision we make and shape the relationships we build with our clients, design partners, and trade partners.

Our team combines decades of construction experience with expertise in building science, high-performance construction, and sustainable building practices, including LEED and EarthCraft-certified projects. Whether constructing a custom home, renovating an existing property, or delivering a commercial space, we are committed to craftsmanship, thoughtful execution, and long-term durability.

We are proud of the team we have assembled and the reputation they have earned throughout Charlottesville and Central Virginia. Just as importantly, we are committed to being a trusted resource long after construction is complete, standing behind our work and supporting the people who entrust us with their projects.

The individuals below are the people responsible for bringing our clients’ visions to life.
