CREATIVE 

The Process

Every good project starts with a good plan. Jeff Kaemmerer draws upon a wide range of expertise as he guides you through each and every step of the process.

Idea
During the first meeting, Jeff wants to hear from you. He believes that before embarking upon the journey of a new project, it’s important for him to understand your vision. Jeff will take from his years of experience and brainstorm on ideas for achieving your goal. He is never shy and won’t hesitate to give his opinion on what may or may not work for your home. Open conversations and a clear vision are essential keys to giving you the best bang for your buck.

Design & Budget
After the initial meeting, Jeff will use your “before” pictures and measurements to design a new floor plan. From that floor plan, he will outline a budget for the project. At the next meeting, Jeff will review the project plan to see if it meets your needs and desired budget. He wants to ensure that you understand the cost of a design before you spend money on it. By no means is this the final design. From here, Jeff will utilize a design team or architect to continue the process. The next step in the process is a Design Agreement.

Design Agreement
This agreement enables Creative Construction & Remodeling to bring in the services of a design team or licensed architect. First, they will take accurate measurements in order to start the design. Jeff sits in during each meeting with the design team or architect and sharing his knowledge of construction and helping to control the budget. Licensed architects and or Design teams introduce wonderful ideas and designs, and you’ll want to explore them all… but with the knowledge of what it will cost.

After a design is chosen, which includes floor plans and elevations, Jeff will arrange a walkthrough of your home with trade contractors (i.e., electricians, plumbers, etc). During this walkthrough, various trade contractors will access the plan and site for the best way to complete their tasks. This is often when construction obstacles that may impact the budget are discovered. From this walkthrough, the contractors will provide Creative Construction & Remodeling a firm contract for your job.

Also, during this time you can select interior finishes (i.e., cabinets, plumbing fixtures, flooring, windows, door, electrical fixtures and appliances). Jeff will walk you through each one of these stages. Jeff also works with the Certified Kitchen & Bath Designers at ProSource for interior design and finish selections.

With all of this information, you are presented a firm construction proposal that will detail all products and selections, including a clearly written description of the work to be performed by trade contractors.

Construction
After all permits have been acquired, demolition and construction get underway. You will receive a time line detailing how the plan will progress. The Project Manager will ensure your home is protected during construction and that all necessary materials are available to the trade contractors.

Creative Construction & Remodeling prides itself on getting the job done quickly and correctly. You want them there, but they also know you want your home to yourself again. This process is about making your home its most incredible self and keeping you happy in the process.
