Nathan Hutchinson
Chief Estimator and Senior Project Manager

There are people who accept things as they are, and there are others who accept the responsibility to change them for the better. Chief Estimator and Senior Project Manager, Nathan Hutchinson is the latter. In speaking with him, you will realize that his disposition is one part job description and another part altruistic vision for an industry in need of significant change. But, most impressively and undeniably, this is Nathan at his core. For many professionals who are passionately obsessed with what they do and intensely focused on the nuances of their craft, their work tends to define an ever-growing piece of themselves. In Nathan's case, you will see a bold individual of admirable talent, unquestionable values, a fortified mindset, and a deep commitment to his own evolution. All of which he employs to define the evolution of an industry he embraces and accepts the challenge to change. Ever since his days studying construction management at Northern Arizona University, Nathan's path seemed predetermined. He deliberately charted a course to work with the most accomplished names in the industry on their most ambitious projects, catering to the world's most discerning and elite clientele. With over two decades of experience, he now joins the Terra Firma team with a vision to lead the charge towards a bold new standard for service and execution in the development industry. Having worked in both commercial and residential construction, Nathan has gained insights and optimization strategies from both sectors. He envisions a process that is solution-focused, budget-driven, and adheres to strict timelines similar to the commercial world, while also incorporating the finesse, curated design, and luxury associated with high-end residential development. Despite the allure, Nathan's role is often meticulous in nature. As a pre-construction specialist, he oversees a broad range of responsibilities, including contract coordination, excavation, acquisition, and negotiation. He diligently manages these tasks to maximize resources for clients, allowing them to invest in the opulent design details of their homes. While his budget and project management capabilities are impressive, the true differentiator is his unwavering spirit. Committed to success and unafraid to take on challenges, Nathan is known for achieving what others shy away from. He finds deep fulfillment in uncovering solutions that drive procedural innovation, eliminate inefficiencies, and push the boundaries of engineering, design, and execution. However, when speaking with Nathan, one can sense that it goes beyond professional aspirations. He approaches his work with purpose, emotionally invested in his clients and the project, and seeks to develop himself as much as the development itself. When he's not constructing monumental projects, Nathan seizes the moment and enthusiastically checks off items from his bucket list with a paintbrush in hand. Motivated by his three children, he cherishes every moment, expressing gratitude even amidst artistic struggles, and finds solace amidst the chaos. For Nathan, this often involves finding tranquility in the gym or taking his two daughters to connect with nature in the nearby mountains. While his son has sadly passed away, there is no doubt that he would be immensely proud of his father's accomplishments and character.
