Construction Industry Professionals Bruce Nelson and Philip Okerlund Team to Form Nelson+Okerlund Project Management


ORANGE, CA, Sept. 2, 2010 – Bruce A. Nelson (top right photo)  and Philip G. Okerlund (top left photo) recently teamed to create Nelson+Okerlund Project Management ( http://www.nelson-okerlund.com/ ), a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).

 The new firm will provide program management, project management and construction management services for healthcare, government, commercial and entertainment projects throughout California.

Nelson and Okerlund each have over 28 years of project management and construction management expertise.

Throughout their careers, they have worked with California’s top construction firms to provide preconstruction and construction services for large scale projects in a variety of industries.

 The duo met in 1999 at DPR Construction in Newport Beach, and since that time, they have teamed on varied construction projects.

“We formed Nelson+Okerlund to utilize our comprehensive construction project knowledge to guide clients through the sometimes complicated and tenuous process of Program Management, Project Management and Construction Management,” explains Okerlund. “Our SDVOSB designation also provides our partners with the competitive advantage in pursuing federal or other government contracts.”

Prior to forming Nelson+Okerlund, Bruce Nelson served as vice president of business development for McCarthy Building Companies, the largest construction firm in Orange County.

Nelson+Okerlund currently employs five industry professionals in its Orange County office and is looking for new employees skilled in design and construction with strong experience in estimating / change order validation and negotiation, scheduling, Sr. Project Management, document control and administration / project coordination.
