Core Values

VISION: Quality and Innovation in Construction

Contractors fall into two categories: those that are production and schedule driven and those that are quality and safety driven. All four attributes have to exist in order to maintain long term profitability and to survive. Yet in the short term, priorities must be set and something inevitably gets sacrificed. Since resources aren't unlimited, what will go first?

At Nova, our people will never be criticized for demanding safety and delivering quality. These attributes have to be managed in an innovative way so that production goals and schedule milestones can still be met in the long term. If they cannot, we would rather not continue if someone gets injured or poor quality is the delivery because someone's priorities were wrong. Are these clichés or core values? Talk to our people, and then talk to our owners.

Sustained innovation and quality requires genuine teamwork. Nova's system of rewards and incentives is directly tied to the safety and quality delivered by the entire project team.
