Adam Seiter
EVP of Operations
While this once small, family-owned construction company is now a large, multi-discipline, employee-owned firm, one thing hasn’t changed — the Nabholz name has been synonymous with integrity since Bob Nabholz founded the business in 1949. Integrity is what motivates our purpose and our guiding principles, and it’s the foundation for every project we touch.
But above all, integrity means valuing people. Valuing our employees by being a leader in job site safety, operating a nationally recognized wellness program, and providing ongoing advancement opportunities. Valuing our clients through hard work, rapid response, and respect. Valuing our subcontractors, design teams, and all those who play a role in our projects with an open-door policy and honest communication.
These concepts are more than words on a page; they are the truths this company lives by, truths that have been proven time and again over our seven decades in operation.
OUR PURPOSE
GROW OUR PEOPLE
We grow our people by providing stable employment offering training and advancement opportunities, and helping to improve individual health and wellness.
SERVE OUR CLIENTS
We serve our clients by helping them to thrive and achieve their goals, and by providing customer service unmatched in the industry.
BUILD OUR COMMUNITIES
We build our communities by sharing our blessings: giving our time, talent, and treasure; improving the cities and towns we live in and the lives of our neighbors.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
SAFETY
We will make the overall wellbeing of our employees, their families, and everyone we encounter our top priority. This focus will include physical safety on job sites, as well as our employees’ health and general quality of life.
QUALITY
We will offer the highest possible quality for all our products and services.
SERVICE
We will provide our customers with extraordinary service experiences, creating a competitive advantage.
INNOVATION
We will consistently explore avenues to improve our processes, services, products, and the experiences of our employees and our customers.
Community
We our community
When we say a part of our purpose is to build our communities, we’re not just talking about building schools or hospitals or roads. We’re talking about a deep, personal commitment to improving the cities and towns where we live and work. This idea goes back to our founder, Bob Nabholz, whose tireless dedication to serving others exemplified the spirit of generosity that lives on at Nabholz today.
In fact, Bob established the Nabholz Charitable Foundation in 1987 to ensure support for the company’s philanthropic efforts for years to come. To date, the foundation has contributed millions of dollars to countless charity and community organizations, hospitals, schools, and universities.
Although financial contributions are an important part of giving back, we believe it is the time and talent our employees give that truly make the difference. Each year, Nabholz employees generously donate thousands of hours of their own time to the causes and organizations they choose. And the best part? They do it because it’s simply the right thing to do.
History
Our company may have started by chance, but since Bob sold that first house in 1949, we’ve built our history on strategic moves that further our mission – to grow our people, serve our clients, and build our communities.
