About Us
Conor Black
Owner, Builder
Conor Black is deeply passionate about building more than just houses—he builds lasting relationships through truly custom homes. With over a decade of experience in residential construction, Conor has managed and delivered more than 100 personalized projects, ranging from luxury custom homes to complex renovations and multi-home developments across Northern Virginia and the Fredericksburg region.
Conor believes that great homes begin with great conversations. He takes the time to understand each client’s vision, lifestyle, and priorities, ensuring that every home is thoughtfully designed and expertly built to reflect the people who live in it. His approach is rooted in collaboration, transparency, and clear communication, allowing clients to feel confident, informed, and supported from the first meeting through final completion.
Before joining BDR Homes, Conor held senior project management roles with respected residential and commercial builders, overseeing multimillion-dollar projects, managing large teams, and navigating complex permitting, budgeting, and inspection processes. This background gives him a unique ability to anticipate challenges, manage details, and deliver high-quality results without surprises.
Through BDR Homes, Conor remains hands-on throughout every phase of construction, committed to craftsmanship, integrity, and accountability. His goal is simple: to create homes that are not only beautifully built, but places where families feel truly at home for years to come.
