Add the square footage you need without making the house look like it grew an appendix. Permits, structure and finish handled end to end.
The test of a good addition is that a visitor cannot tell where the original house ends. That takes matching rooflines and window proportions, sourcing siding and trim that align with what is there, and getting the floor levels and ceiling heights right — details that are difficult to correct after framing.
We handle the full path: feasibility, setbacks and zoning, structural design, permitting, construction and finish. You get one accountable team rather than a designer, a contractor and a permit expediter pointing at one another.
Rooflines, window proportions, siding, trim profiles and floor levels matched to the existing house.
We confirm what your lot actually allows before you fall in love with a plan that cannot be permitted.
Drawings, submissions and inspections managed by us, including the slower island jurisdictions.
Glazing, shading and ventilation specified for Lowcountry heat, so the room is usable in August.
That is set by zoning, setbacks and lot coverage rules, which vary widely between Charleston, West Ashley and the islands. We check the actual constraints on your parcel before any design work begins.
That is the goal, and it is mostly a sourcing and detailing problem. Where an exact match is not available — discontinued siding, for example — we will show you the closest options and be straight about how visible the difference will be.
Yes, subject to what the existing foundation and framing can carry. That gets evaluated by a structural engineer early, because it can change the economics of the whole project.
Permitting is usually the variable, particularly on Kiawah, Seabrook and Johns Island. Construction itself is comparatively predictable once approvals are in hand.
A free consultation costs nothing and commits you to nothing —
you will leave knowing whether your budget and your plans line up.
