Faces of the BIA: JN Contracting

Bringing big ideas to local projects

JN Contracting (JNC) started by supporting developers and customers in busy markets such as Bozeman, Montana, and remote areas like Cheyenne, Wyoming. While multi-family projects built under JN Contracting are at the core of their work, the team’s experience extends beyond that, from commercial office space and restaurants to healthcare, sports facilities and light industrial projects.
