We would like to introduce you to our Unofficial Company Logo as it truly describes portions of our company philosophy. You may have deduced that our history has many more years as a subcontractor and supplier to the construction industry than as a general contractor and design builder.While we have worked with hundreds of "good honest" contractors in our past there are those who will always taint the construction profession. At Nielsen Building Systems, we don't treat our 'Subs' as subservient; they are an important part of the design team for your project.

Our company was developed on the premise of our logo. Our Clients, Our Staff, Our Contractors are treated with total respect and honesty. We seek each individual's abilities to identify problems and finding the path for cost effective solutions in our clients best interest.

If you come to Nielsen Building Systems seeking "3-Piece Suit" construction executives, you may not find the company that you are looking for! If you come to NBS seeking a confident and qualified staff that will allow you, the owner to "assist" us in designing and building your dream building in a low key yet professional manner, we are at your service!

Our staff professionals are able to design your new home or design and build your manufacturing complex of any size. Our clients become crucial members of the design team. After all, who knows their business better!
