On behalf of Trumbull-Nelson, I would like to thank the individuals, institutions and businesses that we proudly served during the past year. The year 2002 offered our skilled personnel a variety of construction challenges. During this past year, as in the 85 preceding years, we have grown in levels of experience and expertise. We continue to appreciate the benefits associated with developing a ‘team’ approach, collaboration, and trust among all project participants, and we enter 2003 with the mind-set that our best work lies ahead. Although our Company’s business relationships and community ties are deep, we understand the important need to continually earn client satisfaction and trust. It is a resolution that we bring forward each new business year.

Certainly, one principle remains unchanged, our commitment to Safety. On any construction project, nothing matters more than the safety of each and every job participant. Trumbull-Nelson is firmly committed to the belief that accident prevention is an essential and vital ingredient of each and every Project. Whenever safety courses are offered by such organizations as the Safety and Health Council of New Hampshire, or by the Vermont/New Hampshire Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), Trumbull-Nelson enrolls as many of its employees as is practical at the time. These courses consider safety compliance and regulations, safety planning and analysis, effective safety training, and much more. Trumbull-Nelson’s Operations Manager, Nate Carey, is currently in the process of becoming trained and authorized by OSHA to teach a 10-hour OSHA Standards certification course.

Trumbull-Nelson is participating on many building projects this winter. Our workload includes such Projects as the Stratton Mountain Clubhouse, in Stratton Mountain, Vt; renovation and additions to the Thetford Elementary School, in Thetford, Vt; renovation work on the Newport Courthouse, in Newport, NH; construction of the Senior/Community Center, additions/renovations to the St. Thomas Episcopal Church and additions/renovations to Our Savior Lutheran Church, all in Hanover, NH; as well as various other projects located throughout the Region. The cover of our Winter 2003 Constructive Images Magazine features the recently completed Riverglen House, an assisted-living community located in Littleton, NH. We extend our thanks to Mr. Jason Purdy, and the J.E. Purdy Company, and its design team, McKenzie Associates for the opportunity to serve as Construction Manager for this challenging and unique Project.

We hope that you enjoy our Winter 2003 edition of Constructive Images magazine. If we can help you with any upcoming building projects in the months ahead, please let us know.
