Principles You Can BUILD On
Our Values
Our values are the foundation of every project we take on and every relationship we build. While the construction industry continues to evolve, our commitment to integrity, craftsmanship, and putting our clients first remains unchanged.
Integrity
Trust is the foundation of every successful project. At Richardson Construction, our reputation has been earned through honesty, accountability, and doing the right thing—even when no one is watching. We hold ourselves, our team, and our partners to the highest standards because every client deserves transparency and respect from start to finish.
Value
We may never be the lowest price, but we always expect to provide the best value. Our team prides itself in delivering the best building experience coupled with the highest possible quality creating lasting value our clients will enjoy for a lifetime.
Quality
Regardless of all the rest, a construction project still needs to be done well. We understand this simple principle and work relentlessly to provide a quality product through employing excellence minded team members and by partnering with trades and suppliers that share this same goal. On the rare occasion when our standard is not met, we make it right. That is our promise of quality.
Service
Any building project is more than labor and materials put together. It’s an experience. We provide a service, not just a project. With regular office hours, our clients can schedule help with design services, meet with their project management team or just to say hello to our friendly staff. We provide regular communication on budgets and project updates through our client portal. Our clients know they can count on the team at Richardson Construction.
Community
“No one has ever become poor by giving back.” Anne Frank
We believe the home is made better and improved by the quality of the community it’s in. That’s why we are involved in many community organizations and enjoy giving back.
Buyer advantage
CBUSA Builder Members
CBUSA is the nation's largest homebuilder purchasing organization. Richardson Construction is a member of the local Knoxville chapter. This elite builder network allows us to negotiate the best prices for our members, that is supported by top vendors, distributors and manufacturers on both the local and national levels. This market strength allows CBUSA Builder Members to gain purchasing advantage over their competitors and to deliver increased purchasing volume to the companies that support their efforts. In 2021, Buildertrend purchased CBUSA providing an even greater support network to its members. Richardson Construction see's this added value as one more way we can help our customers save money. We pass these savings directly back to our customers during the build process.
For Our Commercial Clients
Our Commitment to Commercial Clients
A commercial project is more than a building. It is where you serve customers, employ people, and run your business. The values above guide every home we build, and they guide every office, retail space, restaurant, medical office, and event venue we build for business owners across East Tennessee.
Integrity
Business owners need to know where they stand. We put scope, costs, and exclusions in writing through itemized estimates, and we tell you early when something affects your budget or schedule, not after the fact.
Value
A commercial build is an investment in your business. We may never be the lowest bid, but we plan around the whole picture: a buildable design, durable materials, and a schedule built to protect your opening date.
Quality
We check quality at each stage of the job and partner with trades who share our standard. When your commercial project does not meet it, we make it right. That promise applies to every project, residential or commercial.
Service
You get one point of contact who knows your project, regular budget and schedule updates through our client portal, and a team that plans around your operating hours when your business has to stay open during construction.
Community
We live and work in the communities we build for. Every commercial space we complete is part of the neighborhood where our clients, their employees, and their customers spend their days, and we build with that in mind.
