Generations of craftsmen serving
Charlottesville & Albemarle since 1972
THE LEGACY
Over 5 Decades of Experience
The R.L. Beyer family is blessed with an incredibly loyal team. Sixteen of our twenty employees have been with Rick and Diana longer than 10 years, while R.L. Beyer's designer, Teddy Cosner, has been here over 40 years. The average company-wide tenure is 21 years.
RICK BEYER – COFOUNDER AND PRESIDENT
Rick grew up on a Fluvanna County farm and found a love of ‘building’ at the age of 7 in his dad’s barn by stacking the rectangular hay bales into various forts and tunnels. Today, while his methods are more current and sophisticated, he continues to have a passion for every step that goes into the development and construction process.
SCOTT BEYER - DEVELOPMENT & RENTAL MANAGER
The youngest son of Rick and Diana, Scott was an urban policy analyst before entering the business. He's found overlap between his old and new job, as he focuses on land development, rentals, company finances and more.




COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
Seasoned designers and craftsmen oversee your home from start to finish. Their appreciation and use of natural materials has always been reflected in the designs, long before any market trend towards organic materials. Handcrafted wood pillars, custom-designed spaces, handsome hand-laid hardwood floors, and stained-glass artifacts for interior transoms are just several of the unique elements within these fine homes.

LEGACY EMPLOYEES
Three of the company's longest-tenured employees (Ray Morris, Dianne Ratcliffe and Andy Hamshar) each worked here over 40 years but have since retired. Ray and Andy were the two lead construction supervisors, while Dianne worked as our trusted accountant. Occasionally they still pop by the office!



Our construction crews bring more than 75 years of combined experience to every job site.
THE TOWN WE CALL HOME
Building Communities for 40 Years.
Liberty Land LLC, also owned by Rick and Diana Beyer, has been the perfect complement to R.L. Beyer Custom Homebuilders. Since the 1980s, several charming and notable communities have emerged under the company’s management.
