We’re Family Owned and
Deliberately Personal.

The Nicholas Family of Companies is a second-generation, family owned and operated organization headquartered in Mount Prospect, Illinois, with additional offices in Wisconsin and Florida.

As ownership, the foundation of our continued success always has been and will continue to be the personal relationships we work to cultivate. Whether you are a long-time friend, a new acquaintance, or even a stranger, you are important to us and the work we do. This caring passion for people is the basis upon which our father started this company in 1978, and what led to its growth. It is also how we, his children, choose to run our companies today.

We build and invest in communities. It’s our vision, mission, and calling.

We believe that reputations are built by integrity.

As a family business, our name is on the line. Clients trust us with significant resources, and we take that responsibility seriously. For more than 45 years we have advocated feverishly for our clients and delivered on our word.

 We believe in generosity.

Both collectively and as individuals, we give selflessly. We are passionate about fulfilling needs in our communities with our time, talents, and resources.

We believe in the power of a team.

People are known by the company they keep. That’s why we employ team members, engage with subcontractors, and seek clients who exhibit integrity, loyalty, potential, kindness, spirit, and unwavering professionalism.

We believe in process evolution.

Our meticulous focus on project delivery has proven successful for more than 45 years. While we are disciplined in process, we embrace industry innovation and are adaptable to the unique needs of each client.

We believe that relationships come first.

We pursue people, not projects. We value partnership, invite collaboration, and enjoy camaraderie with our clients. Our deliberately personal nature makes us distinctly different in the industry.
