Meet Our Team

When it comes to constructing specialty office spaces for dental, medical, or veterinary offices in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, look no further than Norwest Contractors. Our team of skilled professionals specializes in creating high-quality, functional spaces tailored to meet the unique needs of these spaces and specialty offices.

The primary process we employ to deliver on your vision starts with a "new school" approach we call "Know Your Building" (KYB). KYB starts with doing homework up front in a detail oriented fashion to identify the primary cost drivers of your project before signing to lease or buy. The sum total of these cost drivers provide Norwest Clients a preliminary project total to evaluate feasibility, avoid speed bumps, financial pitfalls and arrive at your destination faster while protecting you from mistakes and added cost.
