David Partridge
Founder & CEO
Charleston native, David Partridge, is a commercial general contractor and residential builder. He discovered at an early age his love of working with his hands to create something lasting and beautiful from raw materials.
He gleaned much of his knowledge from his grandfathers one of whom was an engineer and the other a commercial land and real-estate developer. He absorbed their knowledge in many areas of construction and fabrication. He grew up loving construction, carpentry, and machine operation. He learned skills of craftsmanship and dedication. He has a love for fine craftsmanship and detail.
He enjoys spending time with his family and helping out in the community. When he is not building, you can find him fishing, golfing, and camping with his family.
