Start with the space your household needs: another bedroom, a larger kitchen, a family room or more room for daily routines. Share your address, the part of the house you want to extend and any drawings you already have.
The first decisions concern feasibility: the property, zoning, structure, services and how the new space connects to the existing home. Those findings shape the design, approvals and construction scope before finishes are selected.

Before you begin
Will an addition require drawings and permits?
Most additions require design drawings, a building permit, and structural input. Zoning, grading, services, and other approvals are reviewed for the specific property.
How will the addition connect to the existing home?
Structure, rooflines, drainage, exterior materials, floor levels, heating, electrical, plumbing, and interior transitions are planned together before construction closes the assemblies.
