Floor Plan Companies in Ottawa

“As a ICF Supply and Installer, I’ve worked on dozens of residential sites, but working with Kairon Homes is consistently a standout experience. Their expertise in Construction Project management is second to none, and it makes a world of difference for every other trade on the job. What sets them apart as project managers is their understanding of the complete building process. They know that early coordination with trades for both scope of work and budget is essential to a great plan. They are proactive, communicative, transparent, and always have the site ready when they say they will. There is a clear culture of respect for all trades involved, and they are quick to problem-solve if site conditions change. Payments are prompt, and their scheduling is realistic, which is a breath of fresh air in this industry Kairon Homes has a grip on the project, and offers a guiding hand to the home owner!

“Paul and colleague Adam installed seven new storm windows and refurbished 7 old sash windows that were always a bit of a chore to live with, and the results make me wish I had contacted Paul about this work years ago. The windows now work smoothly and easily, and make use of hardware I didn't know of until Paul brought it to my attention. He presented me with several different glazing options for the storm windows and we are delighted with the finished result. In addition, Paul replaced some rotten outside cladding on a corner of the house, and was also willing to fit in two unplanned repairs to ceilings that had suffered water damage. I would gladly hire him again, and hope to do just that next year for a different project.”

“When we first stepped foot in what would be our house in the winter of 2010, we knew it was going to be our 'forever home'. An older house, built in the late 1930's, it had had some renovations done along the way, but was in need of a rejuvenation to meet the needs of our growing family. By the spring of 2015 we had added two boys to our family and knew we had some work to do. After seeing Amsted's signs all over our neighbourhood for years, they were one of the first calls we made when thinking about a renovation project. Paulette and Val came to meet us and walk around the house with us, listening and making notes to all our dreams and ideas for what we believed our house could be, and adding in their own ideas where they could. It was important to us to keep the character of our older home, and we felt that Amsted truly understood that, while also understanding the need we had to modernize our home and give us some more living space. By the spring of 2017 we were finally ready to start. Those two years in between saw hundreds of hours of work with Paulette and her team to finalize every aspect of the design and selections: from floor plans, to kitchen and bathroom design and everything in between. Paulette and her team made the selection process as smooth as possible: often she would visit my Pinterest boards to get an idea of what I was looking for to make the most of our time together. We worked hard to ensure as many design and selection decisions were made before the start of our project so there would be no surprise decisions, and as few on-the-spot decisions to make as possible during the project. Paulette's attention to detail was impressive and we appreciated seeing everything in writing to ensure we were all on the same page about our selections and designs. For the first half of our 19 week renovation we stayed in town and were able to meet regularly onsite with Paulette and our Project Manager. For the second half however, we were living at our cottage about 300 kms out of the city. The Amsted team made the most of various forms of communication and always were very well prepared for our weekly onsite meetings when we were able to be in the city for them. Amsted worked hard to ensure that our move-in date was adhered to, so that we had a place in town to be back in time for the start of school in September. Due to delays that were somewhat out of their control, not everything was finished as we had hoped. In the two months that followed we were a bit disappointed that the push to get the last few details finished took as long as it did, and sometimes felt the whole team had moved on to other projects. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the work, craftsmanship and attention to detail Amsted put into our home. The dedication and ownership of project that we saw from Paulette MacGregor has continued to impress us, six months after move in date. I truly miss our weekly design meetings and so enjoyed every step of our renovation project with her. Thanks to Amsted for understanding our vision, and helping us to turn it into reality for our family home.”
