Sometimes the plan changes and that’s where the real learning begins. After getting hooked on construction during a summer job in 1999, John imagined one path into the industry. But when that plan didn’t pan out, an opportunity to oversee a multifamily project put him in charge of everything from sequencing trades to navigating permits and inspections.
It was a baptism by fire and the experience that gave him the confidence to take a chance on himself. One major renovation later, Chandler Construction was born. The rest is history.

TRADE PARTNER SPOTLIGHT | SMS ARCHITECTS

Great homes are collaborative efforts, and we’re fortunate to work alongside talented architects who bring thoughtful ideas and a strong point of view to every project.

This week we’re highlighting SMS Architects, a Richmond-based residential architecture firm we’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years.

SMS takes a thoughtful, collaborative approach to residential design, balancing the character of a home with the way their clients actually want to live in it. Our work together on projects like River Road West is a great example of what can happen when architect, builder, and homeowner are all working toward the same goal.

We’re proud to call SMS Architects a trade partner and always appreciate the opportunity to bring their work from the drawing board into the field.

Trade Partner Spotlight: Jennifer Radovic Design

Great projects are built on great partnerships.

We’re fortunate to collaborate with talented design professionals who help shape each project long before construction begins. One of those partners is Jennifer Radovic Design, whose thoughtful approach to interiors balances beauty, function, and the way people truly live in their spaces.

Jennifer’s work on our Midlothian project has helped create a home filled with warmth, character, and timeless detail. From material selections to finish coordination, strong design collaboration is an essential part of delivering exceptional results for our clients.

Behind the Build | West Hillcrest Ave

A lot of the work we’re most proud of isn’t the first thing you see when you walk into a room.

It’s the cabinet reveals lining up exactly as intended. The stone fabrication fitting perfectly around appliances and fixtures. The countless small decisions made during construction that create a finished space that simply feels right.

Projects like West Hillcrest Ave are a reminder that exceptional results come from paying attention to the details, even the ones most people will never notice.

That’s the difference between building a space and crafting one.

Progress continues at our Midlothian project.

With trim installation behind us, the details that define the character of a home are beginning to take shape. From casing and millwork to the finishing touches that frame each space, this stage requires patience, precision, and craftsmanship.

It’s often these details that receive the least attention during construction but make some of the biggest impressions once a project is complete.

We’re excited to see this home continue to come together and look forward to sharing more progress in the weeks ahead.
