Our Projects Run Smoothly: On Budget and On Schedule

We know that keeping projects on budget and on schedule makes a successful home renovation or new building construction. If you have an older home with traditional character or the clean simple lines of a contemporary home, Kerr Construction has the expertise to do it all.

Whether renovating a kitchen, updating the whole house, building an addition for more space or building from the ground up, Kerr Construction brings their award winning, highest quality services to every project.

Detailed Planning, Skilled Workmanship and Firm Quality Control Standards

Based on our long-standing experience and knowledge in the construction industry we know that the most important step is the pre-planning, including pre-construction services like architectural design, interior design, engineering, zoning and permits, choosing the fixtures, finishes, budgeting, etc.

At Kerr we think through all the little details and how things will function, like which way doors will swing on the cabinets or the fridge. Knowing all these design specifications before starting construction is the best way to help keep a job on time and on budget.

Unlike other companies, we also provide a project supervisor to oversee one project at a time from start to finish. They are the first one on the job and the last one to leave at the end so they have continuity and familiarity with every detail. We do this extra service because it removes any miscommunication and speeds up the job.

It is important to have someone other than the person doing the work to check the final quality, which is why Kerr Construction’s Director of Quality inspects EVERY job to ensure each project meets or exceeds the company’s high standards.

“Concrete may be the foundation of the home, but a proper design process
is the foundation for a smooth-running project.”

The Homeowner is Part of the Process and Always in Control

“Every time we deliver a new concept, or make a change to the drawings or specs,
we provide updated construction budgets so the projects stay on track.”

It can be difficult for a homeowner to get an idea of how much things will cost and to determine if they can afford to do everything they want to do with the quality they want. At Kerr Construction we know it is important to have a standard and effective way to find out what is really important to you as a homeowner. Throughout the designing, budgeting and building processes we always keep our clients informed as to what their project will cost.

This puts the homeowner in control and is the best way to make sure they are getting the most value out of their project.
