I will continue to use Nelson Building as my builder. Their performance and attitude has proven to me their ability to successfully build, not only buildings, but lasting relationships with clients."

William Graves — Owner

Zion Lutheran Church of Buffalo

"From day one, this firm has presented itself as a first class operation. This starts with its leader, Pete Nelson, and continues throughout the organization. Even though they are a relatively new business, they were selected by our church for our remodeling and building project.

They understand that this is truly our church and our project and they work very hard to serve us in every way. When all is said and done, if someone were to ask me if I would use Nelson Building and Development again, I would say resoundingly, yes! I believe if you select them, you will, in fact, say the same."

Rick Johnson—Building Committee Chairman

Faith Lutheran Church of Becker

“Once the contract was awarded and Nelson Building & Development came on board we finally achieved peace of mind. I am still amazed at their ability to stay on schedule, handle our last minute changes, and provide the service and value we are getting on this project.

Our committee’s primary objective was to meet the needs of the congregation on a very limited budget. At every turn in the planning process we were constantly told that our needs exceeded our budget, that it just couldn't be done. I feel that it is a direct result of NBD’s involvement with the project that we will meet those needs and stay in budget. There is no doubt that we are getting extremely high quality and tremendous value for our dollar.”

John Falenschek—Project Coordination Committee

Edina Realty

"The communication from Nelson's was extremely professional, organized and concise. Our project was delivered on time and with the best customer service in the business. We would definitely recommend Nelson Building & Development to anyone and would use their services again."
