NRD Construction, based in Ottawa, Ontario, is a one-stop-shop for commercial and residential renovations. Since forming in 2020, they have built a sterling industry reputation for their versatility, their quality, and their consistent customer satisfaction – as evidenced by their glowing customer testimonials and high ratings on sites such as Google and RenovationFind. “Whatever the client needs done, we can do it,” says Nick De Carlo, founder and owner of the company. “We don’t like to say no to clients. And when we say yes, we guarantee the client will be satisfied with the end product. The job isn’t finished until they are happy.” Nick has personally been in the construction industry ever since he was eight or nine years old, when he started visiting sites with his father, who was also in the industry. As he aged, he started working various trade specific roles, and eventually he started working as a subcontractor for other builders. “I’ve always enjoyed every aspect of building,” he says. “That’s what led me to starting my own business as a general contractor. I wanted to be involved in every part of the building process.” Officially, NRD Construction incorporated in 2020. At first, Nick was a one-man-band doing handyman work and small renovations, but eventually he was able to bring on some employees and get into larger scale projects. Today, the company primarily does “mid-range” commercial and residential renovations, with values ranging anywhere from $50,000 to $500,000. In terms of typology, Nick estimates that approximately 70 per cent of their work is residential and 30 per cent is commercial. In the near future, his goal is to get into even larger scale work and strike a commercial-residential balance closer to 50-50. SEPTEMBER 2024
