About J.D. Lewis
A Richmond-rooted general contractor delivering quality construction across Virginia and beyond.
Our story
A builder grounded in Richmond
J.D. Lewis Construction Management is a full-service general contractor based on E. Main Street in downtown Richmond. We partner with restaurateurs, developers, and property owners to bring ambitious projects to life; from Richmond’s riverfront and historic neighborhoods to job sites across Virginia and beyond.
Our work spans commercial and restaurant build-outs, multi-family residential communities, and the careful rehabilitation of historic structures. Whatever the project type, we bring the same disciplined process: plan early, communicate often, and hold every detail to a high standard.
Company history and founding details are placeholders pending final copy.
