Our project was completed on time and on budget! That is quite an accomplishment considering the COVID-19 pandemic was in full swing while we were building. Using other contractors, only 2 of 12 previous construction projects have been on time and on budget. Kraemer Brothers is a well-run organization. We worked with the same team throughout the planning, budgeting, and construction process. They were effective communicators, responsive and professional. They were true partners throughout the process. They listened and went the extra mile to meet our needs. Kraemer Brothers was able to dissect the project and offer value engineering solutions to bring the cost down without significantly impacting the design. In closing, I recommend Kraemer Brothers without hesitation. My only regret is that we did not partner with them sooner.

Dear Craftsman of Kraemer Brothers,
Just a quick note to say how enjoyable it was to work with you all on the Fairway Independent Mortgage project. Early on we observed some of the innovative ways that you go about your job. As architects, we knew the geometry was possible but we were not at all equipped to answer the questions of exactly how to make it happen in the field. Many contractors we work with would have simply thrown up their hands and told us it couldn’t be done. We commend you on the ownership, craftsmanship and attitude you bring to a project. The glulams and all the finish carpentry was of a custom home quality, executed on a commercial scale. All of the Kramer Brothers people we encountered were direct, honest, and always thought through possible solutions to problems prior to contacting us. It was a great team effort! Excel is hoping we can work together again soon.

Kraemer Brothers delivered this project (our Corporate HQ) on time, under budget and with excellent construction quality. The field and office staff displayed nothing but total professionalism and cooperation. Kraemer Brothers not only constructed this project, but also was on board through the design process. They provided valuable assistance in evaluating design options. Kraemer Brothers has every right to be as proud of this project as we at Culver’s are.

From the day we chose your company to build this structure, we have been totally pleased with every aspect of the project. Your integrity and that of every person in your company from your executive staff to the persons you employ in your construction crew showed through as the building developed from slab to finish.

Kraemer Brothers contributions to the success of the Oaks Building were invaluable. From marketing, to budgeting and value-engineering, to on-site improvements, Kraemer’s staff consistently put the owner’s goals and objectives as the top priority.

Kraemer has the best field operations division I have ever been associated with. Our Project Superintendent met a very demanding schedule that had many unforeseen obstacles, and most importantly he delivered a very high quality product within budget. The safety record was outstanding.

Education

We are delighted that the project has come to full completion and that Kraemer Brothers have done such an outstanding job in managing the project. Our student body is delighted with the project and have fully taken over the whole building from top to bottom and out on the terraces and green roof. Great care was taken by all the companies who worked on this project to do an excellent job of completing all the tasks associated with the building. We believe the building to be state of the art, highly sustainable in terms of energy use, and absolutely gorgeous. I can’t think of a company I would rather work with than Kraemer Brothers who took such pride in making sure that the building was of very high quality.

During the pre-construction phase the Kraemer team provided extremely accurate cost estimates from our early design sketches and then continued by providing estimates that were continuously updated throughout each phase of the project. They also assisted the District in providing value engineering options that eventually allowed the District to add a substantial amount of work to the project while staying within the referendum limits. When all of the trades were finally bid out their estimates were right on target. In the end all of the projects turned out great, had limited RFl’s and change orders, and were completed in time for the staff to occupy prior to school starting. The process for me was one of the smoothest I have encountered for such a large, complex multi-building construction project. Hats off to the entire Kraemer Brothers team for a job well done!

This project has been marked by KBI’s obvious commitment not only to do the job right but also to offer ideas and suggestions that made the final outcome even better than its original design.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to you and your company for being a great partner in the construction of our new high school. Your entire company performed beyond our expectations. Without reservation, I highly recommend your company.

It’s obvious that you and your entire crew have given us all we hoped for – and more – in the timeliness as well as the quality of your work. The whole project has been marked by an obvious commitment to doing the job right, which has to begin at the top if it’s to permeate an entire organization as it does yours.

We are really proud, excited and thankful to work with Kraemer Brothers through the referendum and preconstruction process. I have great confidence that it will go well. The preconstruction gave us a great deal of confidence and strength as we went through the whole process, allowing us to communicate with our constituents. They gave us solid, real numbers as far as building confidence in the community. I can’t emphasize enough how beneficial it has been having Kraemer Brothers through the entire preconstruction process. Very helpful in terms of showing us the options. Unquestionably there is a common excitement and commitment going forward with the project

Thanks to you and your staff for completing the River Arts Center at the Sauk Prairie High School on time and within the cost we anticipated. Our theater is unique as it is the result of the determination of a key group of individuals in our community who are dedicated to the visual and performing arts of our students and the needs of our citizens. The dream of these individuals is now realized as your firm completed the bricks and mortar of this beautiful structure. The teamwork exhibited by your firm deserves an A+ for quality, performance and product.

Our school district has noticed the manner in which your company has been ‘customer oriented.’ Your integrity made the difference. This project was handled with a central focus toward the construction of the finest quality high school building possible. We appreciated your cooperation with all of the parties involved.

I have used the words super, fantastic, exemplary, excellent and professional when describing your services and personnel. I normally don’t get that expressive; however, I feel that in this situation and considering what you have accomplished for our school district in the time limits you had to work with, those words are accurate.

The completed building was turned over to us on April 30, 2010, as promised by Kraemer Brothers. The $6 million project came in on budget and had a very limited number of change orders that were initiated by owner requests and a few unforeseen conditions. Kraemer Brothers delivered a very functional, quality building for us that we continue to receive compliments on. I found the Kraemer Brothers team exceptional to work with. They not only performed their own work very professionally, but they did an excellent job managing the work and performance of their subcontractors.

Having been involved in numerous construction programs over my career, including the construction of three new high schools, I can say without reservation that your company is as fine a representative of the construction trade as I have ever encountered. ….You were and are the kind of company everyone may look to for how “to do things right.” The School District of Mauston has been the beneficiary of your work and your oversight.

This project provided many challenges, including a tight schedule and budget. Kraemer was able to work hand-in-hand with us to determine ways to overcome all obstacles. Great job!

POWER Engineers, Inc. worked with Kraemer Brothers on the new 50,000 sq. ft. precast concrete building expansion at Klondike Cheese Monroe Wisconsin Facility. POWER and Kraemer collaborated from the initial project design stages, value engineering, construction documents and final construction. Kraemer Brothers brought the experiences learned from a previous project on this site, providing design guidance as the structural, architectural and mechanical engineering and design drawings were being developed, saving redesign and schedule delays. The project schedule was aggressive and with major process equipment being designed and supplied by the owner’s consultant, coordination between the design team and the contractor was even more critical for a successful project.
Our working relationship with Kraemer allowed us to have our design questions answered quickly and pressing the owner to make decisions that effected schedule, kept the design moving forward, on schedule with minimal budget impact. Kraemer had relationships established with the major building subcontractors/suppliers which allowed POWER to expedite designs without redesign. Kraemer Brothers has procedures and practices in place that were easily adapted into POWER Engineers’ processes.
During construction there were minimal RFI’s which indicated a well-coordinated design-build strategy. Kraemer’s team was well experienced with this type of project, which in turned made the project successful for POWER Engineers. As a company, we look forward to working on another successful project with Kraemer Brothers in the future.

Kraemer Brothers kept this project on schedule and under budget while enduring some extreme winter weather conditions and complications of tying in a new building into a 50-year-old block building, 10-year-old steel building and a four-year-old freezer panel building, all with different elevations. Kraemer Brothers did a great job of handling the sub contractors’ schedules and costs, keeping them informed of the constantly changing circumstances. Foremost Farms has a high standard for safety in all of our plants and for all of our projects. Kraemer Brothers made this a priority and kept the project incident free.

Kraemer Bros., and, its representatives that we had the privilege to deal with in the Jerome project, are nothing short of being extremely competent and professional. We’ve been utilizing what you people built for us almost a year now and we couldn’t be happier with the physical facility. The building itself is a showplace of how a cheese plant should be laid out and constructed.

I would like to thank everyone at Kraemer Brothers for a job extremely well done. You were there with us before the architect drew his first line, as you have stayed with us beyond the laying of the last brick. Your attention to detail, the craftsmanship of your people, your control of subcontractors, and your uncanny ability to stay on or ahead of even the most ambitious schedule, have made this project right-on-time, at budget, and problem-free.

Once we made the transition to construction we never looked back and absolutely feel we made the right decision on our contractor selection of Kraemer Bros. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the job the KB crew has done for Neesvig’s. Their decisions have made a long-term positive impact on our organization and the building for years to come.

This is a unique company, because they truly represent the owner in a business manner that makes us feel that they are partners with us. The team at Kraemer Brothers is wonderful. They build a great product, because they listen and care about the customer.

Government

Here in Iowa County we have partnered with Kraemer Brothers Construction as the contractor. This has been a team that has done a great job on our project thus far and there is nothing to indicate that will change. Our project is currently ahead of schedule and is anticipated to come in under budget. The working relationship is very good with communication being a key aspect of the project with all partners and the owner, I feel that the County’s voice has always been heard during planning, design and construction. I am taking this opportunity to recommend Kraemer Brothers, I know that they will treat your project with the care and attention that they have shown with our project.

You built a beautiful, user-friendly facility that will meet our needs for many years to come. You completed the Justice Center well ahead of schedule and under the projected cost. The State Jail inspector advised us that our Justice Center is one of the best he has ever seen. When questions arose throughout the construction process, the project superintendent was quick to respond and meet our needs.

Healthcare

Kraemer Brothers continues to exceed our expectations. Their service and professionalism were evident both during the project and post project. We look forward to working with Kraemer Brothers in the future.

Kraemer Brothers could – and should – hold a clinic on what it takes to earn a customer’s satisfaction and return business.

Kraemer Brothers helped develop and maintain the project’s complex phasing and schedule. The project stayed within the GMP and expected contingency range. There was a high level of intricate construction detailing. The quality of work was very good. A high level of safety was maintained. The infection control was exemplary during construction. Kraemer Brothers came to meetings prepared to discuss questions, budget, etc. They were ahead of the game.

In selecting Kraemer Brothers as our partner in constructing our hospital we considered several important factors:
1. We have had a long history of working with them on projects in the past and we were well satisfied with their workmanship, timeliness, cost effectiveness and our ability to have direct involvement in the construction process.
2. Kraemer Brothers has extensive experience in construction of high quality, complex buildings.
3. They are strong supporters of our local community through personal involvement and also economically by employing a local workforce.
4. Their willingness to listen to, and respond to our needs.
Most importantly we knew that this project was the construction of their hospital; the one their family uses and the one many of their workers use for themselves and their families. This is a critical element. A sense of personal ownership by a builder on a large construction project is a rare commodity. It is an aspect that I think truly set Kraemer Brothers apart from any others we might have considered.

Kraemer Brothers rose to all challenges without fail. Kraemer Brothers’ leadership was actively engaged in the management of the projects. Staff were dedicated construction professionals who not only applied their skills to the job, but often advised Chartwell project managers of recommendations benefitting us. They were transparent in all matters, from pricing to problem resolution. This transparency quickly led to a trusting relationship that remained through project delivery and continues to this day. The clean room construction required experienced general contracting professionals. Our plans called for individual positive and negative pressure rooms meeting USP and specifications within one large clean room environment. These rooms provide Chartwell’s pharmacy personnel to compound patient-specific sterile intravenous medications for patients’ use at home. I was most impressed when presented with detailed clean room construction protocols. These protocols assisted Chartwell in achieving post-construction certification after the first visit by the certification company. Chartwell, as with the certification company, were highly impressed with the room performance.

Building a hospital from the ground up is a challenging endeavor. As you all know there are numerous systems that rely on each other in order for all systems to function properly, If one system fails to work well it has the potential to impact the operability of other related systems and equipment. Some of us have been in this industry for decades, other are just beginning their careers, and learning as they go. No job is ever as perfect as you want it to be, but good teams work to make the process and end result as flawless as possible. I would like to take a minute of your time to thank you for your dedication and the personal ownership you took in providing your talents to the construction of our new replacement hospital. Every time I walked around the outside, or worked my way through the various areas inside the facility, I would see each trade working as a team with the trade(s) next to them, and people taking pride in their work. I was also impressed to see the team members taking their breaks and lunch, and never taking advantage of the fact that no one would have known had anyone taken an extra 5 or 10 minutes – I never saw that. Even during construction meetings when everyone was given an opportunity to share their issue(s), others in the meeting would jump in and offer suggestions that would help those in need resolve their issue or problem. I even noticed that the team was made up of a multi-generational workforce that included the younger generation who are just starting out, and including those nearing the end of their careers, but still giving it everything they have – very impressive! Please share this email with all members of your team, we appreciated everything they did, and everything you did. The facility is beautiful and contains many features that will make our patients comfortable during their stay, and the views are such that they will help in the recovery process – all possible by your dedication to your work, to your employer, and to Sauk Prairie Healthcare who is here to serve the community for generations to come. All I can say is “EXCELLENT”!

Kraemer Brothers could – and should – hold a clinic on what it takes to earn a customer’s satisfaction and return business.

Hospitality

I just wanted to take a minute to reiterate how happy all of us at the Kalahari Resort are with the terrific job that Kraemer Brothers did on the new Kalahari Indoor Theme Park. As well as being a beautiful building, it was done with great care and on time and you know how important on-time completion is to me and my company. All of my staff has told me what a pleasure it has been to work with you and your staff not only on this project, but Trappers Turn and the Ny-um-ba Kondos as well. After years of working with other general contractors, it’s a pleasure to finally see how it’s done right!

Your company and those individuals who make up your company have exhibited the highest degree of proficiency, quality and courtesy that I have had the pleasure to observe.

Your team, including office and field staff, have helped us open another amazing hotel project. Our AC by Marriott project was part of a large nationally known retail use development. The building took on many challenges such as being built to span an interior road and contain multi-use spaces inside of the hotel building. The Kraemer Brother’s field team again drove project Quality and Schedule. Hotel openings require vast amounts of coordination and precise execution of finishes. The attention to details and workmanship was on top display. Your field supervision did a great job of communicating with the hotel staff and brand representatives. Our hotel opening was a great success! With great appreciation to Kraemer Brothers, I highly recommend this award. Thank you for your quality performance!

The level of cooperation and farsightedness in orchestrating the first floor project consisting of restaurants, new bar and lobby and the new swimming pool and fitness center on the third floor was unsurpassed in both orchestration and administration of.

In spite of the tremendous hurdles we had to overcome to maintain the hyper track schedule, we finished each major milestone on time and within budget. From the very beginning, your ability to mobilize set a pace that pushed the Architects to their limits to keep up. Your organization’s leadership, communications, and commitment to teamwork forged the success of this unprecedented construction pace.

From design conception to construction completion this 780,000 sf facility was completed in only 3 years. The Kraemer crew contended with very challenging winter/spring weather, off site utility construction that delayed utilities until very late in the schedule, the start of the second phase prior to completion of the first and still they delivered an extraordinary project.

I just wanted to take a few moments of your time to let you know how pleased I was with the Kraemer Project Management Team during our recent renovation project at the Fairfield Inn & Suites – Middleton, WI hotel. Ross, Sheley, Mark and Mike were very knowledgeable, helpful, flexible, patient and overall enjoyable to work with during this renovation project that presented us with many unexpected twists and turns. The team onsite overcame structural and existing building challenges time and time again to stay on schedule.

Kraemer Brothers has set a new and higher standard of construction quality for the Hammons Company to judge future projects by.

Positive response from the community does not happen by accident, and I would like to personally commend and thank Kraemer Brothers … for running a tight ship. The Hilton Garden Inn in Wisconsin Dells and its Del-Bar companion represent a “class act” in our marketplace, and it is both rewarding and consistent with our efforts to have it being constructed by another “class act” – Kraemer Brothers.

Industrial

Constant communication and safety focus made the project flow smoothly without impeding our warehouse crews, which was pretty amazing considering the logistical [challenges] we envisioned at the start of the project. Maybe the best compliment comes from the lack of complaints by our warehouse crews.

I am writing to tell you how pleased we are about the great job your people are doing for us. The building looks great, and you have top notch people working for you.

We have received many laudatory comments on the building and much of this praise is due to how well everything was accomplished by Kraemer Brothers.

Religious

There is no way to speak highly enough about the professionalism, attentiveness, skill and respect shown by Kraemer Bros., their employees and the subcontractors. The whole experience has been a joy. The finished project is a beautiful new church built with modern skill and with the craftsmanship that makes the project a worthy addition to the building tradition of the Catholic Church. People come from miles away to see new Saint Cecilia church. When they arrive they are astounded at the beauty, elegance and power of the new building. Often they comment, ‘I didn’t think we built churches like this anymore.’ Well, we do, and it was done by Kraemer Bros. Construction.

Our church is over 100 years old, Kraemer Bros. spent considerable time “hunting” for the stone to match our building even after the architects & owners had given up! I believe no other company could have matched the stonework that well –the whole project was perfect from start to finish.

Every KBI project superintendent that I have encountered has been excellent to work with…. We look forward to continuing our relationship in the years ahead. We are fortunate to have an excellent general contractor assisting us in our remodeling and construction projects. It is always a pleasure to work with you and your staff.

I have said before and say again that if I were permitted to choose only one contracting firm who would build all the buildings with which I was concerned for the rest of my life, I would unquestionably select Kraemer Brothers as the one.

The theater only works as well as it does because you never stopped asking questions, to make sure we would be happy with the result. The building is a monument to collaboration and care. You and your team showed again and again how much you wanted to do this right. And if you weren’t sure that what was drawn was what we would want, you never let it slide. I will always be grateful.

You have a remarkable company of such great people. I meant what I said at our opening: never a worry, because I had the right people in charge. Thanks.

Science & Technology

We recently completed the Catalent 3rd GMP Manufacturing Train project with Kraemer Brothers as the general contractor. This project incorporated multiple small projects along with the larger manufacturing expansion at the Catalent Biologics site in Madison, WI site. Throughout the project, Kraemer continuously proved their construction excellence and demonstrated their ability to meet and exceed an ever-compressing schedule, while coordinating with the Jacobs Engineering design team, ensuring a high level of execution for the client. The Kraemer Brothers team showed a sense of urgency and a strong work ethic throughout the project. This is the first project that our Jacobs Engineering team has worked with the group from Kraemer Brothers Construction. Having the design team located in North Carolina, it was critical for the success of the project that our teams were able to coordinate and communicate efficiently from the early constructability and bid reviews through completion and turnover of the site back to Catalent. I would recommend Kraemer Brothers for our next project and our team here at Jacobs Engineering is looking forward to partnering again in future work in the Madison area that we are already planning.

The PPC started out as an AE/GC team effort working on project design and quality with a consistent eye on cost impact communication regularly held between the Owner, the Project Architect with Engineering Consultants, the GC (Kraemer Bros ) with input from the St1b-contractors assured a network of relationships. This effectively resulted in a project with a minimal percentage of field changes, bringing to the project’s completion–on budget in time and money.
During construction. the involvement of Kraemer’s staff, on-site and in-office, effectively identified issues and/or opportunities. Bringing these efforts to the team’s attention for timely consideration proved invaluable. This is a direct result of the team’s willingness to work together as a group, not individually. There hasn’t been one team player not willing to see the other side and weigh the idea’s pros and cons, even if they weren’t the author. In the end, the project’s goals of quality, schedule and cost have always been upheld for the good of the project and not individual interests. This is the end pay-off/out for everyone when they effectively collaborate. Self-interests never surfaced. From my perspective as Project Architect, this is all credited to Kraemer Brother’s leadership and expertise as a team player.

I learned early in the tenure of my position that Covance has great trust and faith in the abilities of Kraemer Brothers construction. Based on your performance at the Evansville CRU, I now understand why. Your efforts in identifying alternative construction methods during the bid evaluation period saved thousands. Your management of subcontractors has been excellent and your safety record is stellar.

In every project that we’ve been involved in with Kraemer Brothers we’ve not only seen great attention to detail and quality throughout the entire project, but also the personal commitment and involvement of the leadership down to every employee in the company. This is evident through every phase, including planning, execution and particularly during the building phase of the project.

Kraemer Brothers did an exceptional job on this project. On time and on budget, even with some difficult circumstances related to weather, etc. We are very pleased with our new facility. Kraemer Brothers assured high quality of workmanship throughout.

I want to take this opportunity to say that it has been a real pleasure to have a firm like Kraemer Brothers to rely on in such a high risk activity as construction. You have been willing on numerous occasions to go beyond the contract to help Covance in one way or another. I think/hope we have similarly reached out since an alliance requires each to look out for the other within the framework of good business practice.

There is a term used in Total Quality Management programs today called “best practices.” It is evident that your organization could be used as an example of this quality principle.

The Kraemer Brothers construction team performed beyond our expectations for this project. At every problem encountered and in the face of poor design documents, they remained helpful, willing to keep the project moving forward instead of hindering progress. The field crew was very knowledgeable in construction planning and execution, and the quality of work was exceptional. They managed their subcontractors well, making sure that all involved with the project remained focused on the end product. We were very lucky to have had such a conscientious construction team for this project.
