CHARLESTON, SC — Frampton Construction Company, a full-service firm providing planning and design support, preconstruction, and construction services, has hired Jon Wood, CHC, as General Superintendent. Wood is a Certified Healthcare Constructor (CHC) and will operate throughout Frampton’s regional offices and job sites. In this new leadership position, Wood will oversee multiple projects simultaneously, implement strategic planning initiatives, mentor emerging talent, and establish unified approaches to construction execution.
Wood enters his role at Frampton with construction expertise rooted in family tradition. Representing the fourth generation of craftsmen in his family, his professional journey began in 2000 with custom residential homes before transitioning to commercial construction in 2006. He has since built a portfolio of health care, higher education, and sports facility projects throughout Virginia, Maryland, and South Carolina.
Among Wood's accomplishments is his work on the University of Virginia Medical Education Building.
"Building a facility where future doctors would learn to save lives had a lasting impact on me," Wood said. "Nearly 20 years later, that building continues to mold the minds of today's medical professionals."
His project portfolio also features the $260 million University of Maryland Baltimore Health Science Facility III, the $330 million Dominion Energy Workplace Tower I, and a leadership role in preconstruction planning and early-phase procurement for the over $1 billion Roper St. Francis Replacement Hospital.

Wood's perspective on health care construction is informed by his 23 years of service as a volunteer firefighter and EMT, including a term as Chief of the Stony Point Volunteer Fire Company. This background has given him insights into emergency department design and patient care workflows.
"I'm excited to join the Frampton team and contribute to their commitment to excellence in construction," Wood said. "What impressed me most during the interview process was the enthusiasm of every team member I met. One employee told me their only regret was not joining Frampton sooner — that sealed the deal for me. I look forward to helping develop the next wave of builders while ensuring we execute projects with a unified approach and strategic vision."
"Jon's exactly the kind of leader we want at Frampton," said Josh Schlechty, Vice President of Operations. "He sees potential problems before they happen and knows how to develop practical solutions. What really stands out is his commitment to mentoring our younger team members. With his experience across health care and higher education projects, he'll be a tremendous asset as we continue growing in these markets."
