Why Richmond Homeowners Choose McMahon Custom Homes
Richmond’s real estate market has become increasingly competitive. Many buyers settle for homes that “almost” fit, outdated floorplans, aging systems, or renovations that don’t align with their needs. If you're building a life in the River City, why settle?
Our clients come to us because they want:
- A home designed around their routines, not someone else’s resale strategy
- Modern, energy-efficient construction that stands up to Central Virginia’s humidity, heat, and seasonal swings
- Trustworthy oversight from a locally based builder with deep knowledge of Richmond’s zoning laws and permitting process
- Transparent costs, timelines, and communication from day one
We’ve helped families across neighborhoods like The Fan, Midlothian, Westover Hills, Bon Air, and Church Hill bring their vision to life with homes that reflect both form and function.

A Smart Process That Works for Richmond Families
Richmond homeowners expect a smooth process, especially when investing in a custom home. We’ve refined our design-build system to reduce friction and increase confidence:
1. Initial Consultation
We get to know your family, your lifestyle, and how you plan to use each space. From desired square footage to future-proofing for aging-in-place or growing kids, we cover it all.
2. Site & Lot Evaluation
Richmond’s topography and zoning rules vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. We assess setbacks, utilities, tree ordinances, and grading to determine the best layout for your home.
3. Architectural Design
We create concepts that blend your vision with smart design principles. Whether your style leans modern farmhouse, craftsman, or transitional, we’ll tailor every square foot.
4. Permitting & Compliance
We coordinate with the City of Richmond’s Department of Planning & Development Review, expediting permits and staying ahead of regulatory hurdles.
5. Construction Oversight
Daily supervision, strict quality control, vetted subcontractors, every detail is managed to protect your investment.
6. Weekly Updates
You stay in the loop with photo updates, job site meetings, and open communication channels.
Local Knowledge Matters
Richmond’s growth has been steady, and strategic. In 2023 alone, the city issued over 2,300 residential building permits, with many in newly developing neighborhoods like Manchester, Scott’s Addition, and Magnolia Green in nearby Chesterfield. With that growth comes challenges: tighter permitting timelines, higher material costs, and increasing demand for reliable builders.
We’ve spent years building relationships with local inspectors, suppliers, and financial institutions. This allows us to:
- Secure faster permitting
- Access better material pricing
- Keep your project on track despite supply chain shifts
