About Us

Who is Element13?

Element13 Facades is a glazing contractor in the Denver Metro area, servicing the Front Range, from Colorado Springs to Weld County. The organization was started by Jason Nimmo and Brad Holt in 2019 with a strong aspiration to be something new and refreshing.

Jason and Brad launched the business to provide for a solid, trustworthy, experienced and customer/team focused solution for general contractors and architects/owners. Not only is their focus on “the client” but they bolster just as much focus and effort on the people that help support Element13 be successful.

The owners of the organization have been subject to many outstanding mentors and industry professionals, where they learned that people-focus is the key to success – win or lose – relationship building, nurturing and maintaining is the driver for success. Until robots take over the construction industry, we all have to love we what we do and be motivated to help support whenever and wherever possible.

Our purpose, cause, and passion ultimately rest on the relationships created through effective communication and coordination, transparency, integrity, and honor; it relies heavily on doing what we love and seeing those around us genuinely appreciate what it means to serve. Element13 strongly believes that when employees belong, they will guarantee your success. They will not be working hard and looking for innovative solutions for you, they will be doing it for themselves.

Safety & Element13

Safety is about taking steps to avoid or reduce danger and risk; prevention is the backbone of staying safe.

To say that safety is a core element, seems cliché – however, we truly want and need all of our employees to go home to their families and friends each day.

Safety is not a practice or a requirement, it’s a lifestyle that requires a mental and physical commitment by every person on a project.

Safety is freedom from harm and danger; being proactive in identifying unsafe or hazardous conditions is of utmost importance.

Element13 Culture

Element13‘s Core Elements

Element13’s “Core Elements” embody everything we believe in, everything we stand for and everything we want our teams to realize. Our Core Elements provide the WHY in what we do.

Responsiveness

By definition – “The quality of reacting quickly and positively.”

Bringing this to the table each and every time we participate in a project, provides trust and value for our clients.

Having a responsive attitude and outlook creates a means for raving fans; both internally and externally.

Being responsive allows for a more fluid and productive project – things get done, quickly and positively

Innovation

Innovation is a key element in today’s construction world – it really does “pay” to provide unique processes, procedures and means and methods for each project.

We re-conceptualize issues to discover practical and simplified solutions to difficult issues.

We challenge prevailing assumptions, within reason and code, to suggest better approaches.

We keep things simple by minimizing complexity. We invite our people to bring their ideas and solutions to all projects.

Execution

We believe that this term defines the success of a project, contract or workplace. We base our decisions around executing to plan, schedule and quality parameters.

We are clear, concise and methodical in each project we’re engaged on.

We provide more, positive feedback, to our people and our clients. Being a motivational factor in execution is key.

We strive to resolve conflicts quickly and positively, in an effort to build functional team unity.

Unparalleled Service

We’ve all read the book, “Raving Fans” – we pride ourselves on providing a next-level experience for our customers and our people.

It’s one thing to say “we have good customer service”, but it’s something different when those customers are so overwhelmed and floored by the level we bring, that they can’t stop telling everyone about it.

We keep our commitments – we always do what we say we’re going to do.

We educate our customers.

We are consistent.

We acknowledge and own our problems and then go the extra mile to correct them.

We make sure everyone is on board with a plan, process, procedure or the like.

Perseverance

To persevere, means to endure long stints of persistence, regardless of difficulty, delay or adversity in achieving success, without changing the plan or direction. Tenacity is the same approach but changing the plan or direction, when previous efforts didn’t work. Perseverance is the combination of persistence and tenacity.

We stick to the plan and strive to educate others of the importance of such, or we change the plan using the same drive and determination to achieve the same end goal.

We fight for the success of a project and sustain positivity and teamwork throughout all phases of a project.

Why does culture matter?
Relationships

“We can lift people up or take people down in our relationships. The entire population of the world, less yourself, is composed of everyone else. People are interested in the person who is interested in them. Never let the situation mean more than the relationship. All relationships need cultivation. Working together increases the odds of winning together.”
