New Addition & New Construction Designed for What You Need Next

Whether you need a second story, a room addition, or a ground-up new build — we design and build additions that feel like they were always part of the home. One team, one contract, from structural engineering through certificate of occupancy.

Who This Service Is For

Growing Families

Real Estate Investors

SIGNATURE MOMENTS

What separates a true addition from a cosmetic renovation.

Structural integration

Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC designed together — not retrofitted room by room. Systems that work as a single home.

Permit-first design

Every addition starts with a buildable permit set. We don't design what we can't build. Zoning, setbacks, and structural requirements are confirmed before design begins.

Single-team delivery

One GC. One point of contact. No finger-pointing between trades when something needs resolution.

ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Three phases. Every addition. No handoffs.

Flat-fee at every phase. You know the total investment before work begins.

PHASE 01

Discovery

We assess your entire home — structure, systems, layout — and align the scope to how your household actually lives.

PHASE 02

Design

Architectural and structural design coordinated with your existing home. Engineering, MEP planning, and finish selections resolved before permit filing.

PHASE 03

Construction

Foundation through finishes, managed by one team. You stay informed at every milestone through final inspection and certificate of occupancy.

Second-Story Addition

Adding a full new floor to your existing home. New bedrooms, bathrooms, and living space — structurally integrated with the original build. Permits, engineering, and construction under one team.

Single-Story Room Addition

Expanding your home’s footprint with a new room or suite. Primary bedrooms, home offices, and family room expansions — designed to match your existing architecture and built under one contract.

Ground-Up New Construction

Full demolition and rebuild on an existing lot, or building on a vacant parcel. New foundation, framing, MEP systems, and all finishes — delivered under one design-build contract.

Attached Structure & Garage Addition

Adding living space above or adjacent to an existing garage or structure. Flex space, guest suites, and home office additions that maximize your lot without a full footprint expansion.

The Old Way
