How We Do It
Carl A. Nelson & Company has built its reputation on quality construction and integrity in the marketplace. Profitability is our goal, but how we achieve it is what sets us apart from the competition. Our aim is to become your organization's go-to source for design-build and construction services. We work hard to emphasize value to the customer during every phase of a project, and to deliver projects that are on-budget, on-time and provide the best-possible return on the resources being invested.
Success means living up to our mission and our core values in our interactions with customers, suppliers, subcontractors and one another.
Our track record of delivering quality construction is demonstrated by one key statistic: 80 percent of our business is from repeat clients. On design-build projects, which represent about 40 percent of our average annual revenue, the share of repeat business approaches 85 percent.
