"More often than not when a large construction job begins, the days that follow will involve calls between the owner and contractor attempting to settle disputes to keep the project moving.  Once in a while it is nice to just say that the job is going great.

 

I am sure it is no surprise to you, but, I have to say your crew here at the Henlopen is fantastic, hard working, conscientious, and extremely understanding of the environment they work in.

 

The NCI crew has been extremely helpful in my efforts to manage the myriad of owners and contractors coming and going, and have been a pleasure to work with."

"Nichols Contracting approaches every project as a team member with the Elevator companies, Owners and Consultants.  They are a valuable contributor in reaching positive solutions to issues as they arise during the course of a project. These attributes, as well as their ability to contribute in the early design stages of a project or build-to-suit facility and Modernization have been instrumental in the long-standing relationship between Nichols Contracting and the Elevator industry. I have personally worked with the Nichols Contracting Team and find them to be professional and knowledgeable in the construction / development needs of a project. They understand the high standards of quality that Vertical Transportation Excellence requires."

"Otis Elevator has used Nichols Contracting for years with excellent results. It doesn't matter how big or small the project, Nichols Contracting is able to handle it all. I especially like the fact that we are able to call Fred and that he will provide pricing that is all inclusive of any work necessary to receive a final inspection for the elevator work from the various inspecting authorities in the area."

"Nichols Contracting performed an Emergency Power project for us, providing a generator and all the necessary related architectural, mechanical, fire alarm, and electrical work.  I found the project management staff at Nichols Contracting to be accommodating and knowledgeable; the workers in the field were highly professional.  I would definitely recommend Nichols Contracting for any of your commercial contracting needs."

"I’ve had a working relationship and have done business with Fred Nichols and Nichols Contracting for over 15 years. The Nichols Contracting team continues to have the knowledge and resources to offer services and solutions to any and all modernization projects, regardless of size or scope.  Nichols Contracting is a one stop shop for putting together a team for an elevator modernization project. Nichols assumes the role of general contractor while being responsible for coordinating and managing all other subcontractors as well as coordinating with the customer to assure that all expectations of those elevator requirements are met.

 

The Nichols team has established itself as first choice for elevator companies, building owner developers and elevator consultants as a general contractor who will partner with the customer to update and enhance their vertical transportation needs."

"As the building’s coordinator for the modernization of one of our elevators at the Westmoreland Cooperative, I am delighted to provide an endorsement of the fine work Nichols Contracting did for us - from the beginning, when we were looking for the best plan, through the final work, when the elevator company turned over the keys to the new machinery.

We appreciated the creativity you showed in the beginning as you and the elevator company strove to find solutions for a project that had significant constraints given the age of our building. Our options were limited, but you and your crew found a way to make it all work and did so with both care and courtesy to our residents. The refurbishment of the shaft was no easy task, nor was the creation of a brand new machine room on our roof. We are especially appreciative of the time your men took to put decorative trim on the new machine room so that it matches all the other trim on the building. During the course of the eight-month project, you and others were responsive to any concerns we raised. 

I would recommend you to anyone looking for a first-rate contractor to handle a difficult job."
