-
Of late, my homeowners have been asking for home office space with the change in work habits, but also “we need a place for Mom”. My young families ask for more bedrooms, or play areas to invite their friends. My empty nesters might ask for an entertainment room to host their guests.
-
Part of our service is feasibility, finding the building setback lines or structural integrity, the lack thereof is a rarity.
-
We go back, up, and to the side, but really, it comes down to where you want the space, if it is more family living or bedrooms or both. We have seen two-story rear additions, full second stories, in-law suites to the side, a third story added to a split level, etc.
-
We can rush if you like, but normally, we find four to six weeks affords time for the ideas to “ferment”, and all the preliminary particulars to be addressed.
-
That is our goal, unless otherwise instructed, that the finished project blends to the existing, looking like it could have been original.
-
Most of our homeowners have gone through the “love it or list it” stage and found their reasons to stay outweigh the hassle of moving, assuming we can find a solution to their space needs. Beyond that, you could investigage your finance strategy.
-
Our process fills that role with fully finished, engineer stamped, permit drawings.
-
Any home addition requires a permit. We recommend your builder pull the permit in their name, as it removes the liability from you. They will also deal with all the inspections.
-
We design to code and a permit is not issued if it is not to code.
-
Materials vary with homeowner preferences, but other than finishes, the materials are to code.
-
Yes, and we will try to find similar projects to yours.
-
That all depends – it could be close to $3,000 or more for a preliminary design that gets handed off to our builder, or $8-20K for a finished set of plans.
-
Depending on your situation, yes, we can consult.
-
Those are subjects we discuss in our design process. Certainly, we have owners who prefer affording skylights to larger windows. And some would rather afford thicker walls and insulation.
-
That varies with season, weather, and management challenges, but six months might be a reasonable average.
-
Depending on the situation, there might be up to $100k of additional financing available.
-
Usually with additions, a third to half of the project goes on outside your living envelope before the integration between existing and new begins. Beyond that, we try to accommodate your routine.
-
Each home is different but we usually prefer to leave what you have alone and create a separate panel, in the case of electrical. Plumbing sometimes gets creative in finding a way to tap into your drainage system, for example.
-
The design is backed up by the engineering and the construction typically has a one-year warranty on labor.
-
First, we have a phone conversation, then a home visit to talk further about your home condition and meet all the decision makers. Then if we decide to work together, we have a simple design agreement and deposit and go to work!
