De Ridder, Dec. 2016** > Bramel was recommended by our architect but after months of delays and large unauthorized cost overruns, they abandoned our project, leaving significant work paid for but unbuilt and a long list of deficiencies. We learned that structural inspections had failed multiple times and much work was condemned, incurring huge remediation costs to fix major structural issues and errors. Upon completing half of the work, Bramel demanded most of the remaining contract price to be paid up front for work not yet started, threatening that progress would slow or halt if we didn't give in to demands. We learned that subcontractors had difficulty getting paid and we had to pay some of the trades directly in order to proceed. In the end we completed the construction with an experienced commercial builder, but it was very costly to correct all the issues and we had to forego many of the things we dreamed about for our home. Based on our experience we do not recommend this firm. ## Selected projects - [260 Crestview - Alta Vista](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/260-crestview-alta-vista-pj-vj~846139) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 14 - Description: 260 Crestview posed a significant design and build challenge (and yet it was one of our favourite projects). How do we take a war era home of 1000 Sq. Ft. and turn it into a large family home that despite its new size still fits into a beautiful treed corner lot? The results where nothing short of spectacular as we delivered a flawless 3400 Sq. Ft. Georgian styled home that fit perfectly into the lot and neighbourhood. The original home sat on a beautifully treed corner lot in the heart of Alta… - [41A Stirling Ave - Hintonburg](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/41a-stirling-ave-hintonburg-pj-vj~846134) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: 41A Stirling is a new housing development located in Hintonburg and being developed by our sister company Bramel Developments.

The home had been in the same family since around the turn of the century and definitely hadn’t been renovated in 30 plus years. Our task was to transform this gorgeous little property into a refreshed traditional home on the outside and a modern open, bright living space on the inside. We were also tasked with updating the electrical, plumbing and HV… - [12 Pinhey - Toronto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/12-pinhey-toronto-pj-vj~1793554) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: 12 Pinhey was the sister house to 10 Pinhey with the difference of it being 20 or more years older. Like 10 Pinhey, 12 Pinhey was built in the ‘plank style’ and was even more desperate for a renovation both on the outside and inside. The question posed to Bramel Design and Construction was what to do with a home that was a box and over 100 years old. Our answer was to used the existing shell and transform every single part of the home to produce a modern almost new home.
