Convert it into a pre-construction packet
​
The Pre-Construction Packet empowers you to;
-
dialogue with potential builders or contractors about your project
-
contractors are able to SEE what you want in order to provide estimates
-
the process helps you to select the right builder or contractor for your job​
​
First, we prepare YOU to build via a Pre-Construction PLAN, once that's complete you have the resources, tools, and confidence to start your construction project.
​​
What We DON'T Do
​
Contract Negotiation with your Builder or Contractor
Delegate to your Builder or Contractor
Architectural Drawings
Wait on Jobsite to ensure work is done by Builder or Contractor​
​
Remember…
If it’s not on the Construction Documents it will not be PRICED or BUILT. Learn more by attending The "BUILDING Made Easy" Workshop.

What People are SAYING. . .
Tori Aldridge, Entrepreneur
“A Claim Design and Development [ACDD] will always be my design professionals of choice. Whether commercial or residential, our projects always come in on time and under budget.
Reggi Kemp is a consummate professional with fresh ideas that bring to life the concepts that iIhad only dreamed but couldn't express. I trust her with my project and my pocketbook! ACDD was thorough and innovative. I highly recommend ACDD ”​
​
The Stokes, Entrepreneurs
Before hiring acdd for services; it was recommended to us, that we consult a Pre-Construction Designer, before we built our second bakery. I didn't know what a Pre-Construction Designer was, I just thought you hire a Builder and they do the designing. I did not know how important it was to have someone to sit down with you and help you brainstrorm things that you wouldn't normally think of before you start a big building project or develop construction drawings or design plans. I will never do anything without consulting acdd whether it be to build my next home or build another bakery site."
Roland Sigler III, Pastor
"Working with Reggi is a real joy! She is a a true professional. She accesses one's style and preferences, then determines how a space is used. She efficiently identifies the best way to use space. I appreciate that she is willing to incorporate many of my existing furniture accessories, while guiding me toward additions that will enhance my space.
Another great characteristic that Reggi embodies is that she can effortlessly work within any budget you provide her with. She wants her clients to enjoy their space given the budget they have identified. In the event she deems a big ticket item may be fitting, she discusses her vision and listens for feedback.
I am so appreciative every time I get the opportunity to work with Reggi, because I know I will end up with a finished product that is WONDERFUL!
