Choose for:
  • Custom Homes
    You may have a feeling, a vision, or even rough sketches laid out - but no executable plans.

    From the initial consultation through the legal loopholes to move-in, Nelson Builders and Consultants meets your every need. We boast the most creative, innovative architects and skilled craftsmen the industry has to offer. Don't risk hiring disjointed, uncoordinated development teams - your custom home is the most valuable investment you have, both in terms of money and peace of mind.

    Our highly trained architects will work closely with you to incorporate your every requirement and desire into the overall schematics. Then, closely following the advice of our architecture team, our contractors and builders begin the process of erecting your structure. Our comprehensive methodology, built around old-fashioned teamwork, communication, and attention to detail, is guaranteed to translate your feelings and ideas into the home of your dreams.

  • New Construction
    The land is purchased, the plans are drawn up - you can't wait to go forward with development.

    Even the most meticulously drawn up plans for a home require the utmost attention to detail. Entrust the construction of your home to Nelson Builders and Consultants and rest assured the finest men and women are employed.

    Communication is critical. Whether or not our architects were employed prior to this phase we still insist on solid channels of communication between ourselves and the architect who conceived of the plans. The end result is a perfect execution of the plans laid out by your architect of choice.

  • Architectural Design
    You need help refining a vision or want expert advice, planning and design right from the start.

    A proven methodology centered around communication with the client is key to producing designs that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and on par with the client's tastes. Our innovative architects transform your ideas and feelings into an architectural rendering of a space you are excited to call home. By generously incorporating natural light, proper insulation, and innovative building materials and techniques our architects and engineers produce highly functional living areas that are energy efficient, cost-effective, and unmistakably you.

  • Additions
    Families grow up, houses grow old, and needs change.

    While basic additions are not one of our preferred projects, from time to time we do engage in residential addition construction. If you have a particularly creative, challenging, or large scale project that requires the finest in craftmanship, Nelson Builders and Consultants may be able to help.

    Our core values of communiction and integration extend to these types of projects as well. We can function as a full-service planning, architecture, and contracting house. Or, if desired, we can lend our expertise to just one discipline, such as architecture or building.

  • Independent Auditing
    You have a commercial or residential construction job that needs a second opinion or engineering assesment from an industry expert.

    With 20 years in residential engineering, construction and architecture we know what works and what doesn't. We have expert knowledge of local codes and zoning. Building in Northern California poses a number of unique challenges, such as earthquake-proofing. Leverage our experience in your construction project to ensure you have planned for every eventuality.

    Building in Northern California is already expensive, don't impose more of a financial burden on yourself than needed. Our team of consultants know how to cut costs while maintaining or improving structural integrity, functionality and style. Maybe you have been told that your dream home is out of your reach or not practical. Maybe you suspect that there may be a more cost-effective solution to an engineering problem. Either way, our independent audit will uncover inefficiencies, placing you back on budget and back in control.
