About Us
Pierwood Construction Co., one of Aiken-Augusta area's premier builders, has become the area's peerless market leader in quality custom homes. Committed to offering innovative design, superior workmanship, and exceptional value, Pierwood incorporates its philosophy of personal accountability with construction expertise. Customer service before, during, and after the sale has driven Pierwood to the forefront of the CSRA building industry.
Pierwood Construction Co. was founded by Tom Werner in 1987. With his vision and under his leadership, Pierwood quickly gained a solid reputation for building quality homes and light commercial properties.
In January 2019, a new era began as Ken Richards assumed majority ownership. Ken earned a Bachelor's degree in Architectural Engineering Technology from Southern College of Technology in 1992 and has been President of the company since 2004. He has been strongly involved in every aspect of the day to day operations of Pierwood with an innovative outlook. Ken is a past President and current Board Member of the Builders Association of Metro Augusta and was honored as the 2010 Builder of The Year. On the cutting edge of new dynamic designs, we incorporate large open floor plans for today's lifestyle. Pierwood takes great pride in being able to transform our client's idea into a custom home.
From concept to completion, the entire Pierwood team is focused on making the home construction process the best it can be.

Additionally, Pierwood provides 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty on each new home to ensure that all new homebuyers have the industry's most comprehensive warranty coverage.
