About
Meet Nick Albu:
The Engineer Behind Turnkey Engineering
From the Ohio River to Professional Engineering
​
Nick’s foundation in construction began long before he founded Turnkey Engineering. Growing up in a hardworking family on the Ohio River, Nick spent his youth maintaining his family’s marina. It was there he first mastered the art of "fixing and building," learning to operate heavy equipment and solve complex mechanical problems by hand. Driven by a desire to understand how things work at a structural level, Nick pursued a formal education in design and physics. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Engineering with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, setting the stage for a career defined by precision.
The Turnkey Difference:
17 Years of Technical Expertise
​
Nick spent 17 years as a professional mechanical engineer before transitioning into full-time construction. During that time, his passion for home improvement led him to launch a successful venture remodeling and managing his own rental properties.
​
What began as a dedicated side business eventually became his primary focus. Nick realized that the residential construction industry was missing a vital element: the analytical eye of an engineer - High-Quality Construction Guided by Precision.
Today, Nick leads Turnkey Engineering with a simple but powerful goal:
to bring your vision to life through high-quality work, fair pricing, and a disciplined timeline.
​
By choosing Turnkey Engineering, you aren’t just hiring a contractor; you’re hiring a degree-holding engineer who ensures that every beam, joint, and finish meets a professional standard of excellence.
