David Vest, Supervisor

David Vest, Supervisor, has been with Abrahamse and Company since 1989. He’s appreciated for his ability to handle a big crew, work hard, and get the work done. David enjoys his work. Like many others working for the company, he feels he’s part of a family in which each member is cared for and given opportunities to be successful. He says that the company structure is set up for there to be a win/win for everyone involved.

David supervised the construction of the University of Virginia’s Center for Christian Studies, a three-story addition built from the ground up onto the back of an existing building. The Center contains office space, a conference room, library, and rental apartments. He’s proud of how the building, with its sleek, light, modern design went up. “We didn’t have much room because we were building behind a bank and some apartments. We had to build the wall in 10-foot sections on

the ground. Then a crane came in and lifted the panels in place for us. That was the only way we could do it.” He’s also proud of the Aulebach house in the Rosemont subdivision. That house is built on top of a mountain, with exposed beams in the ceiling and huge windows that look out to the mountains.

“I work with a great bunch of people at this company.“ David says. “We seem to get the best clients, too. I’ve never worked on one project that I would not go back to if the client called tomorrow.”

After work, David’s favorite pastime is…more building! He likes helping folks out with small remodeling projects, such as putting up storm doors, building decks and fences, enclosing a patio area, etc.
