Nicholas Sills

Principal, Whirlwind Consultants

Experienced team leader, quick to understand complex systems and optimize process flows for measured results, while cutting through operational and communication barriers. Driven by inspiration, honest relationship building, and continuous improvement ideologies.

The process of conceiving an idea to seeing it through to completion is an extremely rewarding undertaking. I have a strong appreciation for true form and functionality, exposing authentic materials while maintaining structural honesty. I believe the future success of modern, relevant construction firms is based on economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability. As a cornerstone to this success the delivery of team leadership, inspiration, and, higher quality building solutions will be key. Mass Timber hybrid construction systems with prefabrication, and detailed planning can lead to significant cost reductions paired with increased client quality perception. My project experience exemplifies my ability to work with Architects, Engineers, and project teams to build consensus and create successful one of a kind projects. I hope to work with firms who share similar values and look forward to adjusting the boundaries of design and construction within all materials and methods.
