Who Are We?

We are a commercial general contractor founded in 2023, serving the Charleston area. We keep the scope clear, put it in writing and keep you informed from the first walk-through to closeout.

Services

    Conceptual Pre-Construction

    Our pre-construction services encompass meticulous planning and preparatory activities, such as feasibility studies, budgeting, and value engineering. We help you turn a business idea into a clear, buildable scope, working alongside your design team, and give you an early planning range, not a bid, before you commit.

  • Architectural blueprint with ruler and pencil for drafting or design work.

    Working with your architect

    We work from your architect's and engineer's drawings. If you don't have a design team yet, we can help you line up one you contract with directly.

    Plan and Spec Construction

    Plan and spec construction, also known as design-bid-build, involves a sequential process where the project's design is completed before bidding for construction. The client hires an architect to create detailed plans and specifications, which are then put out to bid for construction by general contractors, leading to a more traditional and segmented approach to project delivery

We take on commercial construction projects up to $3 million in total project cost, including tenant upfits and remodels. We scope each job to the space, the use and the drawings, and build it with our team and trade partners. Industries we serve:

Brewery and Restaurant

We build out restaurants, bars, bakeries and coffee shops, and we understand the intricacies of your business. We work with you and your designer to build a space that fits your brand and the experience you want your customers to have.

Medical

We cater to a diverse range of industries including veterinary offices, dental practices, and medical office buildings, comprehensively addressing their specialized requirements by building spaces that integrate the necessary equipment and infrastructure.

Office Space

Whether you're converting an existing building into office space or building out space for a growing business, we build work environments that fit your company's culture and the way your team works.

Community

From community centers to welcoming fellowship halls, we recognize the vital role that community plays in our lives. Our mission is to assist in constructing spaces that foster connection, unity, and shared experiences, helping to strengthen and enrich the fabric of your community.

Service and Retail

From a clothing boutique to a tire shop, we treat each space with care and pay attention to the details, whatever the business.

Quality

At 3 Rivers Commercial Construction, quality starts with a clear written scope and steady communication. Our team and trade partners build to the drawings, and we keep you informed as the work moves along.

Areas we serve

Our team and trade partners serve the whole Charleston metro: Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Moncks Corner, North Charleston, West Ashley, James Island and Ladson, and across the Lowcountry. We also work statewide in South Carolina for projects that fit.
