Where Construction Means Commitment and a Celebration of Community

Kel-Mar Designs, Inc.’s distinctive approach to all aspects of construction management and general contracting has filled an important niche in New York’s competitive marketplace.  Established in 1992, Kel-Mar’s outstanding reputation is built on a solid foundation of experienced professionalism and integrity. Versatile and aggressive, Kel-Mar’s unbridled energy and innovative problem solving has enabled them to tackle complex projects that other contractors would rather avoid.  Thriving on the challenge, Kel-Mar consistently finds practical, efficient and cost-effective solutions, while maintaining the most arduous of schedules.

Since its inception, Kel-Mar’s primary focus has been to provide exceptional personalized service and is dedicated to meeting and surpassing the needs of each and every customer. This begins at the initial client meeting and continues throughout the construction process until construction is complete and the project is signed off. 

Without a doubt, the construction process is complicated and stressful; but Kel-Mar is a master at minimizing problems and maximizing success.  Kel-Mar functions like a tight-knit family unit whose versatile staff – comprised of executives, engineers, estimators, project managers, superintendents, and support staff – appreciate the value of building and maintaining relationships. They believe in the power of teamwork, understanding that collaborative partnerships produce the best efforts and the best results. In fact, Kel-Mar’s success – in no small measure - is predicated on their talent to cultivate teams that include all the players in the group. With an instinctive appreciation of the concerns of others, Kel-Mar has a unique ability to bridge the gap, bringing together the client, architect, engineer, sub-contractors, vendors and consultants to reasonably and efficiently resolve issues. Their extensive arsenal of tools and services include the rare ability to truly communicate.  Kel-Mar’s respect for others and willingness to give everyone a voice, combined with their creative leadership and problem solving abilities, limit inevitable problems and delays that can impact job success. 

When all is said and done, everyone on the project becomes part of Kel-Mar’s extended family. Through the years, Kel-Mar’s success rate and ever-expanding client base is due in no small measure to the extensive amount of repeat business and referrals from satisfied customers. Their diversified client base includes a wide spectrum of markets – including high-end residential renovations, corporate interiors, institutional and not-for-profit work, academia, core and shell, retail, and hospitality projects.  Regardless of size, cost or complexity, every project receives the same effort, service and attention to detail. At Kel-Mar, every client and every project is considered a treasured gem and is treated accordingly.
