Building in Henrico — Common Questions
-
Infill construction means building a brand-new, modern home on an existing lot in an established neighborhood—often by tearing down an older structure. It lets you stay in a neighborhood you love while getting open floor plans, energy efficiency, and high-end finishes.
-
We build throughout Henrico County, with a specialty in West End communities like Tuckahoe and Glen Allen, and East End properties in Varina. Our office on Staples Mill Road puts us minutes from every neighborhood we serve.
-
Yes. Teardown-and-rebuild is a core part of Henrico infill construction. We handle demolition, site evaluation, permitting with Henrico County, and the new build as a single coordinated project—you deal with one team instead of piecing it together.
-
Henrico's real estate tax rate is $0.83 per $100 of assessed value (2026). That's competitive with surrounding jurisdictions and one reason Henrico remains attractive for families looking to maximize their building budget and long-term equity.
-
10–20 minutes to Downtown Richmond and 5–10 minutes to Short Pump from nearly every Henrico neighborhood. Direct access to I-64 and I-295 means your commute rarely exceeds 30 minutes, even from Varina in the east.
-
Most Henrico custom builds take 10–14 months from contract to move-in. Infill and teardown projects can add 1–2 months for demolition and additional permitting. We provide a detailed timeline before construction begins.
