Episode 14 brings in Nate Altheimer of A3 Builders, based out of Belgium, Wisconsin.
With 30 years in the game and still wearing his bags, Nate splits his time between running a young framing crew—where his oldest is now swinging a hammer—and supervising larger development projects.
We dig into what it means to build in a market where “high-end” doesn’t look like what you see on social media—and how chasing that illusion can lead to overbuilding in a landscape where that kind of demand doesn’t exist.
In Nate’s world, the goal is clear: build smart—for efficiency, longevity, and reputation.
It was great catching up with Nate, and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
