THE SERVICE

Commercial-Grade Accountability on Every Project

Code compliance across multiple trade disciplines. Coordination between framing, mechanical, and finish work. Qualified Carpentry brings 32 years of experience managing exactly this complexity.

Todd Nelson has completed commercial projects including restaurants and hospitality spaces, banks and financial institutions, medical offices and eye clinics, schools and educational facilities, retail spaces, business office fit-outs, salon suites, faith communities and churches, multi-unit residential complexes, and custom shop mezzanines.

Todd Nelson has completed commercial finish carpentry and cabinetry installation projects across Sioux Falls and surrounding communities including restaurants, banks, medical offices, schools, retail spaces, and institutional buildings. Every commercial project receives the same standard of craftsmanship and attention to detail as his residential work. Todd manages every trade from permits through final walkthrough so commercial clients deal with one point of contact throughout the entire project.

Whether you are a business owner needing a space that works, or a homeowner adding square footage to your property, the process starts the same way: a conversation with Todd about what you actually need.

THE PROCESS

How a Commercial & New Builds Project Works

From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, here is exactly what to expect.

  1. 1. Tell Todd About the Project

    Call 605-212-6318 or send the details through the estimate form. Todd answers his own phone. You are not routed to a call center or handed to a salesperson.

  2. 2. Measurements & Details

    Most projects need measurements and a clear picture of the existing conditions before anything can be priced. Todd gathers what he needs, in person when the job calls for it.

  3. 3. Current Vendor Pricing

    Estimates are not handed out on the spot. Materials, cabinets, windows, and specialty products are quoted with vendors so the number you receive reflects current pricing.

  4. 4. Written Estimate

    You get a written estimate covering scope, materials, and what is included, so there are no surprises once work begins.

  5. 5. Build & Final Walkthrough

    Todd does the work himself with a small trusted crew, keeps the site clean, and walks the finished project with you before it is called done.

What Affects the Cost of a Commercial & New Builds Project

No two commercial & new builds projects price the same, and Todd will not guess at a number to win the job. Here is what moves the price up or down. And what he looks at before writing your estimate.

Todd Nelson does, as the licensed general contractor of record. He pulls permits, schedules inspections and coordinates the plumbing, electrical and mechanical trades. Qualified Carpentry is licensed, bonded and insured for commercial projects.

Do you do tenant build-outs and mezzanines?

Yes. Tenant build-outs, office fit-outs, salon suite conversions and shop mezzanines with stairs and railing are regular commercial work for Todd Nelson. His superintendent background covers framing and structure as well as the finish carpentry.

How do commercial estimates work?

Todd Nelson reviews plans or walks the space, measures, confirms current material pricing with vendors, then issues a written scope and price. He does not quote commercial work on the spot, because accurate numbers require both measurements and vendor confirmation.
