1. In the building industry, you need a name that says you stand by the work you do so having a personalised name is very important. Your customers need to feel that there is an actual person that they can talk to if something was to go wrong. Here in Australia, the more successful companies have names like Porta Davis, Henly's Homes, Simonds Homes etc. The companies with the more generic names don't seem to have the same success rate.
2. I just happened to see a truck at the Post Office that had a simple name that caught my eye, even though I was not looking for anyone at this time. It was simply USA Construction and written simply and clearly with a little bit about what they did. The truck was white and the sign was blue and red = red, white and blue. While I can't give you a great idea, it seems to me that company names with a patriotic twist, or at least one with Virginia or the USA are best. You want to have a name that is solid. Otherwise, an affinity name is good using words that apply to you, such as Veteran, Green Beret, First Division, Knights, VT, Washington, if you get my drift... Be sure to include the TYPE of business in the name + Liberty Virginia Home Building or something like that. When you pick one, Virginia has, I believe a place to look up the name for similar ones. Remember, just because someone has used a certain name, does not mean you cannot use it, as long as you are in an unrelated business. Hopefully, nobody will mix up a bakery with a home construction company :-) Good luck!
