Family owned, based in Ladson. The person who measures and quotes your project is the person who builds it.
Iago Guedes earned a degree in mechanical engineering. Then he spent the last seven years where he wanted to be: on job sites, with a framing square in his hand.
He started Nexus Build Works as a family company with one rule: treat every project like it is our own home. The engineering shows up in things you notice later. Walls that are square, cabinets that sit level, numbers that were checked before the cut.
Iago is on your job, not behind a desk. The person who measures and quotes your project is the person you talk to while it is built.
The kitchen or bathroom you use every day, or the list of repairs you have been putting off.
More room as the family grows: an addition, a second bathroom, a layout that works for everyone.
Rentals and resale houses that need the work done right, written down and easy to check.
A lot and a set of plans. We do the layout, framing, roof, dry-in and finish carpentry.
The residential code calls for a shower floor to slope at least 1/4 inch per foot toward the drain. With the drain 2 feet from the wall, that is half an inch of fall. We check the slope before the waterproofing goes on, because after the tile it cannot be fixed.
Before cabinets or tile, we check the corners with the 3-4-5 rule. Mark 3 feet along one wall and 4 feet along the other. The diagonal between the marks should read exactly 5 feet. If it does not, we know before the first cabinet goes in and plan the layout around it.
Stone fabricators commonly ask for base cabinets level within 1/8 inch across the run before they template. We find the high point of the floor, set the first cabinet there and shim the rest up to it. Miss it and the gap shows at the backsplash.
The code allows a riser up to 7 3/4 inches, and the tallest and shortest riser in a flight can differ by no more than 3/8 inch. Your feet notice less than that. We divide the total rise by the number of steps before we cut a stringer, so every step comes out the same.
Nexus is licensed for electrical work in South Carolina and does the electrical on its own jobs: the circuits, outlets, switches and lighting a kitchen, bathroom or addition needs. The wiring is planned with the layout, while the walls are open.
Nexus Build Works has a public contractor profile on BuildZoom. You can also find us on Facebook and Instagram.
