Questions
What information should I prepare for our initial consultation?
While not required, property plans or existing documentation help initial assessments. We'll request specific details during our consultation to understand your project scope and requirements.
What estimating methods do you use for projects?
We primarily use cost-plus billing with bi-weekly detailed reports and budget tracking spreadsheets. This transparent approach ensures clear financial visibility throughout your project's lifecycle.
Do you have an in-house design team?
We collaborate with multiple design firms rather than maintaining in-house designers, connecting you with the best fit for your specific project requirements.
How do you ensure projects stay within budget?
While we operate on cost-plus principles, we provide regular budget updates and transparent communication to maintain financial control despite potential unforeseen challenges.
What clean-up procedures do you follow during construction?
We maintain organized worksites with designated disposal/recycling stations, daily tidying, and professional post-project cleaning including window maintenance to minimize disruption.
How does Kennedy Construction incorporate sustainability?
Through material recycling, carbon-conscious methods, energy-efficient upgrades, and passive home construction techniques that reduce environmental impact while enhancing home performance.
