Since then, our firm has experienced constant and consistent growth establishing offices in Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming and Idaho.

Each office is supported by an experienced staff of construction professionals, project managers, superintendents, estimators and administrative staff who provide the company’s full range of services. Sletten’s combined construction volumes of these offices have been consistently in the top 400 rating of the Engineering News Record’s annual survey for the past 30 years.

Sletten's different offices have multiple divisions including Commercial, Industrial, Corrections, Bridge, Solar, Inspections, and Virtual Construction Management. Our diversified firm’s project experience includes educational, correctional and medical facilities, retail spaces, parking garages, bridges, aviation, dams, light and heavy industrial, solar, inspections and multi-unit projects.

Whether your project format is design-bid-build or you want a team that specializes in construction manager at risk or design-build, Sletten employees will focus on the project and let their experience take care of the process. We take the time to make sure that you understand the process fully and feel comfortable that you are receiving the best value for your specific project.

What truly sets us apart is our people. Once Sletten is selected for your project, we make a binding commitment to you that runs far deeper than contractual obligations.
