We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our Troy headquarters renovation for 2019.

New ways of working have driven demand for different kinds of spaces at work. With these spaces comes an exciting time for end users and designers to access so many different ancillary products, options and choices to create unique and welcoming areas that blur the edges of home and work.
Unique architectural elements can be a focal point for a space. When our team came together to design the new NBS Experience Center, one of the goals was to highlight the in-house solutions we can provide for our clients. Every space has its challenges and for us, it’s our 13’ high ceilings.
Work on our showroom expansion began in February – and at ninety days into the project, we are wrapping up the second phase of our renovation. This included a 4,000 sq. ft. buildout into our existing warehouse by our own NBS Construction Solutions team.

Bringing home a new puppy is filled with excitement and challenges. No matter what troubles they bring, we still love our pets. They keep us on our toes, occasionally make a mess, but they always show us love.
Often companies find themselves in a predicament where they are expanding to the point where they are out of available space. Traditionally, their options were to either move or build an addition to their existing building.
