Our Story

For more than two decades, Nielson Construction has been a cornerstone of quality home building in Southeastern South Dakota. Our journey began with a simple mission: to make the process of renting, buying, or building a home as simple as possible. We’ve built communities based around single family homes, town houses, custom homes, 55+ living, and more, so there’s something for everyone!

As one of the state’s largest residential construction builders, we’ve mastered the art of constructing high volumes of homes without ever compromising on the quality our homeowners expect and deserve.

More Than a Company, We’re a Family

Our strength lies in our people. From construction crews and administrative staff to our trusted subcontractors and partners, we are a family. We don’t just work together: we grow together, driven by a shared commitment to precision and teamwork.
