About NORDIC BUILDERS of Tolland
Nordic Builders was founded in 1987 by a father and son team, Johan and Allan Koiva. Johan, a structural and civil engineer held positions in Connecticut as the City of Hartford’s Chief Engineer, and the State of Connecticut as Chief Engineer. Upon his retirement, Johan formed a partnership with Allan with the goal of designing and building quality custom homes in this area. Johan shared his engineering expertise and Allan as a graduate of the University of Connecticut, his business economics and civil engineering experience.
As the company grew and sales increased, Allan’s wife, Liz joined the team in 1995 and Nordic Builders has expanded continuously since then. Liz is also a graduate from the University of Connecticut with a BA and an MBA from the University of Hartford. Allan and Liz have resided in Tolland for over 24 years, raising three children.
Today, Nordic Builders remains a family run business including their son, nephew and cousins. Nordic employs local subcontractors, most of who live in Tolland County and are proud to have them be part of their team.
Nordic Builders of Tolland, LLC is licensed and registered as a New Home Construction Contractor (Registration #165) in the State of Connecticut; a member of the National Association of Home Builders and the Hartford County Home Builders Association.
TESTIMONIALS: These are just some of the many testimonials Nordic Builders has received throughout the many years of service that turned into great relationships:
"Normally buying a home is expected to be a stressful time, but working with Nordic made the process so stress free. We had many, many questions and changes and they were always a phone call or an email away. They were so accommodating. The complex (Oakland Meadows) is in a great location, so close to I-84, 91, makes it great for commuting but it still has the feeling of being on a quiet cul-de-sac. The units are great. We fell in love at first site. We had been looking around for about 9 months when we stopped by for an open house, nothing else we had looked at compared in any way. They are so quiet that I forget I have neighbors on each side of me. The materials and workmanship is top notch! Nordic Builders and their subs are all professionals and do great work. Nordic Builders are a local family run company and it shows in everything they do. Great job!"
