How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
We match rooflines, materials and proportions so the addition reads as part of the original house, and plan structure and services to tie in cleanly. A detached suite or studio adds space without disturbing the main house during construction. Your project conversation covers land, intended use, budget range and design priorities. We verify feasibility, engineering, approvals, specifications and contract terms before you sign.

Your project, step by step

- During
Design that matches the existing house, permits, then construction with the main house protected.
- After
A final walkthrough, a warranty visit and as-built drawings.

Good to know.
Do you handle zoning and permits?
Yes. Setback checks, variances where needed and the full permit process are ours.
Can you build a detached suite?
Yes. Guest suites, studios and pool houses are a regular part of our work.
Questions worth bringing.
- What should the site assessment and written scope establish for additions & guest suites?
- How will site conditions, planning requirements and the design brief shape feasibility?
- Which specifications, allowances and change-approval steps will the building agreement document?
Before you book.
Every project starts on site. You receive a written scope, a schedule and a price range before design begins, and nothing moves to contract until you approve it. Final scope and pricing are confirmed after your site assessment.
