In 1697, he became the designer and head of the construction of the only stone Kremlin in Siberia in Tobolsk – he drew up drawings of the stone fortifications of the city, calculated the cost of work and supervised their implementation. According to Remezov's drawings, the most important administrative buildings – the Prikaznaya Chamber and Gostiny Dvor-were also erected in Tobolsk. He developed an exemplary project of a stone house for mass private development. In Tyumen, in the Trinity Monastery, the Peter and Paul Church was built according to the project of Remezov. He drew up not only plans for the state-owned Kamensky metallurgical plant, but also drawings of the artillery pieces and cannonballs produced there. Semyon Remezov is the author of the works "On the borders and boundaries of All Siberia", "Likening the Siberian countries", "Description of Siberia", etc. Historical-toponymic and ethnographic-geographical problems of the origin of the peoples of Siberia are considered by Remezov in "Description of the Siberian peoples and the facets of their lands" (1697-1698). The events of the annexation of Siberia are described by him in the illustrated "Remezov Chronicle", consisting of the "History of Siberia" (90-ies. XVII century.) and "Chronicles of the Siberian brief Kungur" (after 1703). In the literature, the chronicle is known as the "Remezovskaya Chronicle"," Tobolsk Chronicle"," Brief Siberian Chronicle "or"Kungurskaya Chronicle". But in the history of Russia Remezov entered, first of all, as a cartographer. In 1689, Remezov was certified by the Tobolsk voivode A. P. Golovin as an experienced draftsman. In 1693, he tried his hand at icon painting. In 1695, Remezov designed the emblems for seven regimental banners, and then, with his own money, made the banners themselves (perhaps some of them are kept among those that were sent to Moscow from Tobolsk in the early XIX century and until recently were known as"Yermak's banners").

Living at the end of the XVII century in Tobolsk, he made maps of both individual parts of Siberia and its entire vast territory from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean. Remezov's maps contain not only geographical, but also important historical information on the early period of the history of Siberia and the Urals.
