About Us

NTO Commercial builds strong partnerships and even stronger projects. We handle the hard stuff so you can focus on what matters—construction made simple

Construction Without Chaos

Rooted in Fort Worth, NTO Commercial brings big-firm experience with a down-to-earth approach. We’ve built our reputation on trust, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to our clients and community.

From healthcare facilities to churches and commercial spaces across North Texas, our focus is simple: deliver quality work, clear communication, and a smooth process from start to finish.

We’re not just builders—we’re problem solvers, neighbors, and partners who care about the impact our projects make. At NTO, construction isn’t just about what we build—it’s about how we build it: with integrity, flexibility, and purpose.

Built on a Handshake

We start with trust and stand by our word—partnership is the foundation of every project.

Think Beyond the Blueprint

We bring fresh ideas and creative problem-solving—spotting what others miss and finding smarter ways to build.
Build What Matters

We care about impact, not just profit. What we build—and how we build it—should mean something.
Construction Without the Chaos

We keep projects calm, clear, and on track—so clients can focus on the big picture, not the stress.

NTO Leadership

At NTO Commercial, our leadership combines big-firm experience with a personal touch. Founder Dan Hansen built NTO on the belief that great projects start with strong relationships and straightforward communication. Joining him, Joel brings fresh perspective and real estate know-how, keeping every project balanced, efficient, and people-focused. Together, they lead with a calm, hands-on approach that makes building feel simple and stress-free.

President
Dan founded NTO Commercial in 2015 to offer a more personal, no-nonsense approach to commercial construction. After 16 years with a large general contractor, he set out to blend big-firm expertise with small-firm flexibility—and build strong, lasting partnerships.
Rooted in North Texas, Dan brings hands-on leadership, local connections, and a commitment to keeping projects smooth, on budget, and client-friendly from start to finish.
Fun fact: NTO stands for Nebraska, Texas, and Oklahoma—three states that shaped Dan’s journey. He’s a Husker by heart, a Sooner grad, and a proud Texan builder.
At the end of the day, Dan believes in rolling up sleeves, solving problems, and getting things done right—with good people by his side.

Vice President
Joel joined NTO in 2023, bringing a unique blend of construction know-how and commercial real estate insight. With experience balancing the needs of tenants and landlords—and a background in drafting, design, and construction engineering—he pairs technical skill with a people-first approach.
He’s driven by helping clients bring their vision to life, whether it’s a first location, a growing expansion, or a space that just fits.
Known for his calm, solutions-focused mindset, Joel values strong relationships and clear communication. His goal: reduce stress, deliver smart results, and make the process feel seamless.
