Additions & Structural Remodeling

Room additions, expanded living spaces, layout modifications, and substantial residential transformations.

Adding to a house, or removing what's holding it up, moves a project into a different category. Structural engineering, foundation work, roof tie-ins, and municipal review all enter the picture. The design has to satisfy the engineer and the building department as well as the household.

What’s Included

  • Feasibility review and site assessment
  • Structural design and engineering coordination
  • Foundation and framing
  • Roof tie-ins and building envelope
  • Load-bearing wall modifications
  • Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing extension
  • Permitting, plan review, and inspections
  • Interior finish-out

What actually matters on this work

What the lot allows
Setbacks, easements, lot coverage, and local review all constrain what can be built before design begins. We check this first.
Matching an existing house
An addition that reads as an addition is a design failure. Roof pitch, eave detail, window proportion, and masonry all have to reconcile.
Engineering is not optional
Removing structure requires a licensed engineer's design. We coordinate it as part of preconstruction rather than discovering it mid-project.
