General contracting in Chatham-Kent.

Additions and whole-home projects managed end to end — permits, trades and schedule under one point of accountability.

Whole-home renovation in Chatham-Kent by AM Construction
Our Approach

Most renovations go wrong in the schedule, not the build.

A drywaller arrives before the electrical is inspected. Cabinets land three weeks before the floor is ready. The plumber is on another job the week you need him. None of that is a skill problem — it is a coordination problem, and it is what turns a six-week project into a four-month one.

Our job is to make sure that does not happen. Scope is defined before we start, trades are booked against a real timeline, materials are ordered to arrive when they are needed, and inspections are scheduled rather than remembered.

You get one number to call and one person accountable for the outcome — not a chain of subcontractors each pointing at the last one.

What's Included

The whole project, managed.

Additions, whole-home renovations, basements and structural work — under one contract.

01

Planning & Permits

Scope defined, drawings prepared or coordinated, and building permits applied for and tracked.

02

Trade Coordination

Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs and framers scheduled against one timeline.

03

Structural Work

Wall removals, beams and headers, foundations and additions, engineered where required.

04

Inspections

Framing, electrical, plumbing and final inspections booked and met at the right stages.

05

Interior Build-Out

Insulation, drywall, flooring, tile, cabinetry and finish carpentry through to completion.

06

Project Management

Weekly updates, a running schedule, and a single point of contact from start to close.

How It Runs

Four stages, start to finish.

Timelines vary widely by scope — a basement build runs weeks, an addition runs months. We will give you a realistic one at quote, not an optimistic one.

STAGE 01

Consultation

On-site walkthrough, measurements, and an honest conversation about scope and budget.

STAGE 02

Planning & Quote

Drawings, permits, trade pricing and a schedule — assembled into a written quote before anything starts.

STAGE 03

Build

Demolition, structure and rough-in through inspections, then interior finishes to completion.

STAGE 04

Walkthrough

Punch list, full cleanup, and a final walkthrough together before it's called done.

Common Questions

What homeowners ask us.

What does a general contractor actually do?

Defines the scope, prices it, pulls the permits, hires and schedules every trade, orders materials to arrive on time, books inspections, and stays accountable for the result. You deal with us instead of eight different companies.

Do you handle permits and drawings?

Yes. We prepare or coordinate the drawings, submit the application, and track it through to approval. Where an engineer is required for structural work, we bring one in.

Are your subcontractors licensed and insured?

Every electrician, plumber and HVAC tech on our projects is licensed and carries their own insurance. We work with a repeat bench rather than whoever is cheapest that week.

Can I live in the house during the work?

Often yes, depending on scope. We stage larger projects to keep a kitchen or bathroom in service where we can, and tell you honestly which stretches will be difficult.

How do you handle changes mid-project?

In writing, priced, and approved by you before the work goes ahead. Hidden conditions behind walls are the usual cause, and you will always see the cost before we proceed.

How do I know the schedule is realistic?

Because it is built from actual trade availability and material lead times rather than a best case. If something slips, you hear it from us early rather than discovering it on site.
