A Tradition of Excellence

Honesty. Integrity. Precision. These guiding principles laid a solid foundation upon which Bass Construction was built. And, they are qualities on which the company still thrives. This time-honored tradition was started by a man known for his attention to detail and fairness with everyone – from his clients and employees to subcontractors and suppliers.

Nelson I. Bass, Jr. got his start in construction in the residential market, drawing house plans and building homes. In 1957, he founded Bass Construction and just three years later, the company incorporated. For over 45 years, he played a vital role in both residential and commercial projects in the area.

Little did he know in those early years that his son, Bob, his two grandsons and an extended family of staff would continue the legacy he started all those years ago. Those who knew Nelson Bass well can still hear his voice recite the mantra that summed up his standards for excellence – prior planning prevents poor performance.

We still live by this simple yet powerful philosophy today!
