Seven Rivers Design and Build: Andrew Must

Andrew Must comes from Lewisburg, where he runs Seven Rivers Design and Build. The host introduces him as the president and founder of the West Virginia construction business, and Andrew makes the work sound personal from the start. Seven Rivers usually works with clients who want a dream home, not speculative development or standard spec houses. The company starts with the concept, then stays with the project through completion. The goal is a turnkey process that still keeps the client close to the build. The business side stays practical. Andrew and the host talk about why entrepreneurs need bigger networks, industry groups, and people who have already run into the same kinds of problems. Ownership can get lonely, and the host says that plainly. Andrew agrees. Starting a business means living with risk, uncertainty, and plenty of failure. Their advice is simple because it has to be: fail fast, learn from it, and keep going. Place matters in this conversation. Andrew says the company's current projects are around Lewisburg, generally within about 40 minutes of town. The work can reach farther, including places like Summers County and Monroe County, but the focus right now is close to home. Business is busy, though Andrew does not pretend the economy is easy to read. The tone is warm and local. The host closes by praising Andrew's work and tying the conversation back to positive business stories in West Virginia. It plays like a straightforward introduction to a builder, an entrepreneur, and a company tied closely to one community.
