Core Values

Vision: Quality & Innovation In Construction

As a general rule, contractors are typically grouped into two categories: those that are production and schedule driven, and those driven by quality and safety. The truth is, for a contractor to thrive and maintain long-term profitability and market share, all four elements must be present. Since contractor resources are generally limited however, this is easier said than done and inevitably one or more of them are sacrificed in the interest of “getting the job built.”

At Nova, we have managed to bring these elements together through consistent innovation and a passion for quality. Our impeccable safety record, dominant position in our niche markets and record of outstanding evaluations from our customers attest to this claim; our 30 year history of profitability and industry leadership confirm it.

In our experience, sustained innovation and quality don’t happen without genuine teamwork. As a result, we put a great emphasis on building teams of qualified people to sustain our mission and make believers out of our customers. To encourage and reinforce this process with our project teams, we have a system of project rewards and incentives built around our mission attributes of safety, quality, and profitability.
