General contractor

Not yet publicly named. This is a private project, so its trade work is bought by the general contractor or construction manager, not posted as a public bid. We'll update this page when the firm is announced.

How to get work on it

  1. Construction is expected to take about 10 months, ahead of a planned summer 2027 opening, so trade packages are likely bought soon. Watch for the general contractor to be named; it buys almost every trade package.
  2. Imaging and radiosurgery suites need specialists (RF and magnetic shielding, rigging, radiation shielding). If that's your trade, contact the equipment makers' installation partners and Richmond-area healthcare builders now.
  3. Hospital work inside an open building usually requires infection-control (ICRA) training and healthcare experience. Have your certifications, safety record (EMR) and similar past work ready.
  4. Get certified as a Virginia small, women- or minority-owned business (SWaM) if you qualify, and bid the public work around Richmond listed below.
