Seven Ridges Construction brings design and field experience together in Lynchburg

A residential building project brings together people whose work happens at different stages: design, coordination, site management and the craft of construction itself. At Lynchburg's Seven Ridges Construction, those roles are visible within a team built to handle both new homes and changes to existing ones.

Founded in 2018 by Charles Grant, Seven Ridges specializes in custom residential construction, additions, whole-home renovations and remodeling. Its office is on Whitehall Road in Lynchburg, with projects serving homeowners throughout Virginia.

Emily Grant leads design and real estate, while Caroline Brewer serves as project coordinator. Project managers Christian Kiefer and Mitchell Morse work alongside field staff including lead carpenter Micah Weatherl and field crew lead Joe Morris. The combination puts design considerations, project organization and hands-on building experience within the same business.

That range is especially relevant to a company working on both new construction and renovations. A custom home starts with a different set of questions from an addition or the reworking of an existing house. Seven Ridges takes on each of those project types, allowing homeowners to approach the company with plans to build from the beginning or adapt a property they already have.

The company's stated priorities include communication with homeowners, architects and trade partners, along with attention to the details of the finished work. Its portfolio and service information offer prospective clients a starting point for discussing the kind of project they have in mind.

A renovation can bring design choices and construction decisions into close contact. At Seven Ridges, the design director, project managers and carpenters contribute their different specialties to the same residential work, whether the aim is a new home or a better use of an existing one.
