Nicholas Morel
Read Bio
With more than 20 years in the construction industry, Nic began his career in the field — working as a subcontractor across multiple trades in both union and non-union environments. That hands-on experience built the foundation for a deep understanding of how projects truly come together, from the craftsmanship to the onsite coordination that drives successful builds.
Building on that foundation, Nic went on to serve as an executive with both large-scale and smaller boutique general contracting firms, where he led teams, managed complex commercial and residential projects, and refined his ability to balance operational precision with creative problem-solving.
His passion for building and vision for long-term growth naturally evolved into ownership and development, where he has successfully led mixed-use commercial real estate projects from concept through completion — integrating design, financing, and construction into cohesive, high-performing assets.
Today, that full-spectrum experience guides him as President of Republic Building Contractors, where he leads with a builder’s mindset, an owner’s perspective, and a commitment to delivering lasting value for clients and communities alike.
