Welcome to Construction Management Associates

Jeff Melton started his Kentucky RIver home renovation with some pretty disappointing contractors. When he approached us, he wanted an honest contractor that could cost effectively build a sturdy and functional handicap ramp. With his wife in a wheelchair, and the house sitting 15 feet in the air, this was a bit of a challenge.

One of our excellent subcontractors, Thomas Menges of TM Construction and his capable crew completed the framing.

The finished handicap ramp wraps around 3 sides of the home in order to climb over 15 foot in elevation at a pitch can could be easily negotiated in a wheelchair.

After specing out the project and submitting a proposal, Jeff selected Construction Management Associates to help him with his renocation project.

I hope you enjoy seeing this unique home. Please read on... as we both have put in alot of hard work and want to show it off to you!

Home Renovation

Jeff loves living on the Kentucky RIver but hated getting wet every time the river flooded. What was the solution? Raise his house two foot above the Army Corps Of Engineers 100 year flood elevation.

Interested in some construction specifics? The decking was treated 5/4 screwed into the joists. The joists are treated 2by8s, the beams 2by10 treated. The beams are bolted to the 6by6 vertical posts with carriage bolts. The 6by6 treated posts are anchored into the ground in bag mix. From an engineering standpoint, this is the best method to anchor your posts in the ground.(far better that incasing them in concrete) All fasteners are galvanized and all joists secured with joist hangers. The spindles are treated 2by2's and no section of the rail or ramp will have an opening more that 4 inches which is Kentucky Building Code. The ramp has no less than a 48 inch clearance between inside rails.

Please take a look at the pictures below to see check out this unique project.
