New Construction Services Built on Precision and Trust
Building a new structure from the ground up represents one of the most exciting investments you can make, whether it is a custom home, a commercial facility, or a multi-unit residential development. At Thorsen’s-Norquist , we understand that new construction projects demand meticulous planning, expert execution, and transparent communication from the very first consultation through the final inspection. We serve homeowners, builders, and developers across Modesto, Turlock, CA, and surrounding areas, bringing decades of hands-on experience to every project we take on. When you are investing in new construction, every system installed behind the walls and beneath the floors needs to perform flawlessly for years to come, and that is exactly the standard we hold ourselves to.
The new construction market continues to evolve rapidly. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, new residential construction spending has consistently grown year over year, and commercial building permits in many areas have followed a similar upward trend. This growth means more builders, contractors, and homeowners need reliable partners who can deliver quality mechanical system installations on schedule and within budget. We take our responsibility very seriously when you place your trust in us, and we work diligently to ensure that every component we install meets or exceeds current building codes and manufacturer specifications.
Our Approach to New Construction Projects
Every new construction project begins with a thorough design and planning phase. We work closely with general contractors, architects, and property owners throughout the Modesto and Turlock, CA area to review blueprints, assess structural requirements, and recommend the most efficient systems for each unique building. This collaborative approach prevents costly change orders and delays down the road. We make it a point to go over any details or limitations of the proposed system that will affect your enjoyment of the end result, ensuring you understand exactly what you are getting before any work begins.
Once the design is finalized, our installation teams follow a carefully sequenced process that aligns with the overall construction timeline. Rough-in work is coordinated with framing and electrical crews to avoid conflicts, and we maintain open lines of communication with project managers throughout every phase. Our technicians are trained to work cleanly and efficiently, minimizing disruption to other trades working on site. This level of coordination is essential on new construction jobs where multiple contractors must share space and meet tight deadlines.
Systems and Specifications for Modern Buildings
Modern new construction demands systems that prioritize energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and long-term reliability. We install high-efficiency equipment that meets current Department of Energy standards, and we stay current with evolving building codes that increasingly emphasize sustainability and performance. From properly sized ductwork to precision refrigerant line sets, every detail matters when you are building something that should last for decades.
We also address the growing demand for smart building integration. Today’s new construction projects frequently incorporate programmable thermostats, zoning systems, and advanced controls that allow homeowners and building managers to optimize comfort and reduce operating costs. Whether you are building a three-bedroom home or a twenty-thousand-square-foot commercial space, we tailor our installations to match the specific needs of each project. We pledge to always tell you up front what your cost will be to complete your job correctly, so there are no surprises as your project progresses.
Key Benefits of Working With Us on New Construction
Choosing the right partner for your new construction project impacts everything from daily comfort to long-term maintenance costs. Here are some of the advantages we bring to every job:
- Accurate load calculations performed using Manual J and Manual D methodologies to ensure proper system sizing for optimal efficiency and comfort
- Code-compliant installations that meet all local and state requirements, reducing the risk of failed inspections or costly rework
- Coordinated scheduling with general contractors and other trades to keep your project moving forward without unnecessary delays

- Post-installation support to address any questions or adjustments needed after your new building is occupied
Building for the Future
The construction industry is moving toward higher performance standards, tighter building envelopes, and greater energy accountability. New codes such as updated IECC standards and local energy benchmarking requirements mean that the systems installed in new buildings today must perform at a higher level than ever before. We stay ahead of these changes through ongoing training and education, ensuring that our installations not only meet current requirements but are positioned to comply with future standards as well.
If you are planning a new construction project in Modesto and Turlock, CA or the surrounding communities, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs. From initial design consultation through final commissioning, Thorsen’s-Norquist is committed to delivering installations that perform reliably, operate efficiently, and provide lasting comfort for every building we work on.
