The hardest part of an addition is making it not look like an addition. By Design measures your existing home, designs the new space to match the roof lines and proportions, and produces the drawings your contractor and permit office need.
What's included
- Field measurement and as-built drawings of the existing home
- Addition design matched to existing rooflines and materials
- Load-bearing wall analysis for removals
- New framing, foundation and connection details
- Garage, sunroom, porch and second-story additions
- Basement finish and kitchen or bath reconfiguration plans
Start with what's actually there
Older homes are rarely square or level. Measuring before designing prevents the addition that doesn't quite meet the existing wall.
Permits for remodels, too
Structural changes usually need a permit. We draw the set that gets it.

Questions about additions & remodel plans
Do I need plans for an addition?+
Almost always. Anything that changes the footprint or the structure will need drawings for permit and for accurate contractor bids.
Can you help decide between adding on and moving?+
Yes — we'll design the addition and be honest about what it takes, so you can make that call with real information.
