Healthcare Construction Manager & Design-Build Contractor
Carl A. Nelson & Company is a trusted name in healthcare construction.
With extensive experience in the industry, we specialize in delivering high-quality healthcare facilities, from hospitals to medical offices and more. Our team prioritizes safety, efficiency, and superior craftsmanship to ensure successful outcomes that meet the unique needs of healthcare providers.
At Carl A. Nelson & Company (CANCO), we understand the complexity of 21st-century healthcare construction. Integration of high-tech medical equipment, security and communication technology, medical gases, and fire protection all contribute to the complexity of the construction.
But healthcare construction is more than just knowing how to build. Your design-build or construction management team also needs to understand the business and practice of healthcare. Oftentimes the construction occurs at an existing facility, which requires special attention to staff needs, patient comfort, and infection control procedures.
CANCO has a wide range of experience in the healthcare marketplace in the design-build, construction management agency or at-risk, or general contractor role. And not only can we help you accomplish your vision of a better facility, our needs assessment and master planning services can help you to shape that vision.
We have built different types of facilities including regional and rural hospitals, critical-access hospitals, medical office buildings and stand-alone medical and dental clinics, as well as senior living and long-term care facilities. Furthermore, our experience includes new facilities, remodeled spaces, and additions. Except on CM Agency projects, we are able to self-perform much of the work with our own highly trained and skilled construction craftsmen.
If you are ready to get started with construction, or need assistance with developing a plan, contact Dan Culp, vice president of operations in our Burlington office. Dan oversees our projects for healthcare clients.

Client relationships is at the heart of how we do business
In the Fall 2020 edition of our wibi newsletter, we spoke to several repeat healthcare clients about the benefits of a long-term builder/customer relationship.
