More square footage, without an inch that reads as an afterthought.
An addition has to read as though it always belonged: structurally, materially, and in how light moves through it. We coordinate structural engineering and municipal approvals so the process moves as smoothly as the build itself.
Approvals handled, transitions disappeared.
Rear extensions, second-storey additions, and laneway suites all move through the same discipline: permit drawings and municipal approvals handled in-house, structural coordination carried from foundation to roofline, and material transitions detailed so they disappear into the existing house rather than announcing themselves.
- Rear, second-storey, and laneway additions
- Permit drawings and municipal approvals handled in-house
- Material transitions detailed to disappear, not announce
- Structural coordination from foundation to roofline
An addition, phase by phase.
Additions carry more risk before the shovel ever goes in the ground, so we front-load the feasibility and approvals work.
Feasibility & Zoning
We check setbacks, height limits, and lot coverage against local zoning before any design work starts, so you know what's actually buildable before you fall in love with a concept.
- Zoning, setback, and lot-coverage review
- Preliminary structural feasibility with our engineering partners
- A written scope and budget range within one week
Design, Engineer & Permit
Architectural drawings and structural engineering develop together, and we prepare and submit the permit package ourselves rather than handing that off to you to navigate.
- Permit drawings and structural engineering, coordinated
- Municipal submission and approvals managed in-house
- Material and detailing plan for a seamless tie-in
Build
Foundation, framing, and envelope work proceed under continuous structural inspection, with particular care at every point where the new structure ties into the old, roofline, cladding, and interior finishes alike.
- Foundation, framing, and building envelope
- Structural coordination from footing to roofline
- Weekly site walkthroughs through occupied-home construction
Reveal
Final municipal inspections are closed out, the material transitions are checked in daylight and at night, and you're handed a care guide alongside a two-year workmanship warranty.
- Final inspections closed out and punch list completed
- Care guide for cladding, glazing, and finishes
- Two-year workmanship warranty, direct line to your lead
