Growing NS Builders with Content and Quality
Nick Schiffer started NS Builders in 2014, but his story begins much earlier. Even as a kid, he loved working with his hands—tinkering with a bike, building a mini-empire with Lincoln Logs, figuring out how to put things back together after ripping them apart. At age 11, Nick was already working in his Dad’s fencing business. Attending a vocational school marked a turning point—two classes, in particular, would profoundly impact Nick’s career path. Cabinet making and house carpentry shop fueled his passion for all things construction, and from then on, Nick knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life—build houses. Really amazing houses.
After graduating from Fitchburg State University with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Technology/Management, it was time to leave the family business (not an easy decision). Accepting a job in Boston for a big company, Nick soon worked his way up to assistant project manager, completely immersing himself in the various aspects of construction management. Nick wasn’t letting go of his dream—to own his own business—and he worked at night on his own side projects, gaining experience through trial and error, discovering how to juggle multiple jobs effectively, and the financial side of running the show. He held himself and his work to the highest level and refused to settle for less.
