Our 7-Step Reimer Project Path
Step 1

We start with a complimentary phone meeting to discuss your project goals and ensure they align with our services.

During this call, we review your objectives, confirm budget compatibility, and assess the project’s overall feasibility.

Step 2

Meet at the customer’s project location to assess overall site feasibility. 

A site visit to evaluate your property.

  • It is important to evaluate where the proposed house will be located. 
  • Reimer Construction prides itself on making sure the design of the house fits its surroundings.

Assessment of how the project integrates with the property, including lot elevations, building proximity, and overall feasibility

  • Does the house fit the property 
  • Are there unique features that need to be considered 
  • Location of services 
  • Driveway location 
  • Where will the well and septic be located 
Step 3

Should your project align with our criteria, we offer preliminary plans and pricing for a fee, beginning at $1,500 plus tax. This initial service encompasses: 

Discussion of potential design concepts and layout options

  • Does the house need to be wheelchair accessible?
  • How many bedrooms are needed?
  • How many bathrooms are needed? Walkout basement?
  • Energy efficiency?

Development of a preliminary floor plan

  • We will take the design concepts and draw a preliminary design. 
  • Includes one floor plan. Revisions are included in the next step. 
Step 4

If you’re satisfied with the preliminary plans, pricing, and how the design fits your property, we move forward with the Preconstruction Services Agreement starting at $8,500 plus tax.

This phase includes seven primary components.

Step 5

Once the contract is signed and we receive a 10% down payment, your project is officially added to our construction schedule. 

We then move forward with obtaining all required permits, scheduling trades, and starting building. 

Step 6

Your vision now begins to take shape as construction starts on your property. While the site may appear chaotic, you can be confident in our proven experience. We manage the process to deliver your beautiful finished home.

To ensure transparency and a smooth process, we provide weekly progress reports to keep you fully informed.  

Step 7

Rest assured that all Reimer Construction homes are covered with Atlantic Home Warranty’s new home warranty. Here is a link to the coverage.

Approximately a year after your home is complete, we will come to your home to repair any defects. 

Please note: Payment is required before starting each step of the process. 

Taking a project from an idea to execution is our specialty. We’re here to help see your vision brought to life.

Reimer Construction is a locally owned company that has been building and renovating homes and businesses in the Annapolis Valley area since 2006. We understand that the building process can be complicated and intimidating to potential homeowners and so this is why we aim to ensure that your project goes smoothly. 

We believe that with our solution-oriented approach to problem solving and by keeping you informed about the project, we can deliver on that expectation. We will support you through the process, keep you informed, and provide alternative options when needed.

We look forward to bringing your vision to life.

Before reaching out, we invite you to explore our thoughtfully crafted planning process—the Reimer Project Path—designed to deliver an exceptional building experience from start to finish.

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • Joel is as honest as the day is long and always a gentleman.

    Joel Reimer and the Reimer Construction team are great. Joel is as honest as the day is long and always a gentleman. There were never any problems, only some situations that we needed to find solutions for. Joel always wanted to be fair when an unknown arose. Even when Joel was not on site, his team represented him very well. Would I work with Joel and Reimer Construction again, absolutely!
    Ian Porter

    High integrity, quality workmanship throughout, great attention to detail. We had Reimer in to do a 550 sq ft extension plus re-wrap the entire 200 year old home. Great communications throughout, project went entirely as planned without surprises. Highly recommended.
    Phil Culhane

  • They are a highly respected and very diverse Contractor

    I can personally say that my family had a great experience working with Reimer Construction on the framing and finish carpentry of our new home. We were very impressed with the workmanship and customer service. They are a highly respected and very diverse Contractor who has only gained that recognition in the industry by doing great work, satisfying the client’s needs and having an excellent rapport with their customers and suppliers. We would have no hesitation in recommending Reimer Construction to others for construction services.

  • A pleasure to work with

    Joel and the crew were a pleasure to work with. As a late fall/early winter roof restructure, they ensured we were protected from the wind and rain, even staying late on a couple of evenings as unexpected weather moved in. They were on time, efficient, and offered options for the unforeseen problems that arose throughout the project. Highly recommended.
