Nu Edge Construction has built their success on a commitment to quality workmanship. When founder, Wayne Bowman, needed to expand his operation he looked to Butler and local contractor P. Hansen Construction for a building that would reflect the company’s dedication to excellence while providing lower total operating costs.
