How it Works: Home Addition Design & Build in Denver Metro

Whether you’re expanding your home or building an addition as part of a larger remodel, our design-build process allows you to work alongside our professionals at every step of the way.

Building Out a Budget That Works for You

You should have an idea of your budget before starting, and we help you understand what will factor into the overall cost—permits, materials, labor, and more. Throughout the preconstruction process, we help you finalize a very detailed budget that accounts for site conditions, design choices, structural needs, and more.

Soil Testing & Surveys

The soils throughout Northern Colorado vary from expansive clays in Denver to rocky areas near Boulder’s foothills. Understanding your property’s soil type with a structural engineer helps us design your addition with the right foundation type, shoring, construction methods, and drainage systems. We prepare a survey with a grading plan to map your lot’s elevations, changes to slope, and drainage for the proposed project.

Asbestos Inspection & Removal

For homes built before 1988, an asbestos inspection must be done before acquiring permits and doing any demolition work. If asbestos is found, we remove it before any demo work or construction work takes place.

Design & Engineering

To get your vision on paper, we pair you with our home addition architects to make your plans a reality. Taking into account your location, project scope, and your needs and budget, we pair you with a professional that has experience in your unique project type. We work with you to develop the design into detailed architectural plans, elevations, and 3D renderings, helping you visualize the proposed addition inside and out.

Home Addition Permits

With a site plan, soils report, shoring plans, and finalized construction documents, we start the review and approval process with the local planning department. Before your build can begin, we get your design approved according to Denver’s permitting requirements on zoning, setbacks, structural code compliance, and more. With our experience working in Denver and navigating its permitting system, we handle everything from zoning verification to final approval.

Selections

Once the design is finalized, our selections coordinator guides you through selecting materials, fixtures, and finishes that fit your style and budget. Making selections during preconstruction helps keep costs accurate and ensures materials arrive on time, preventing delays once construction begins.

Building Your Addition

After thoroughly defining the cost, scope, and schedule for your project during the preconstruction process, construction can begin! With a clear plan in place, we keep the project on track, making sure the work is completed efficiently and to the highest standards.

How much does it cost to pop the top on a house in Denver?

Getting a “pop top” or second-story addition on your home is a more affordable option comparable to the cost of moving or building a new home, especially in the Denver area. A pop top is a great way to add both space and value while staying in a neighborhood you love and a home that you own. Some factors that will influence the cost of your Denver pop top is the square footage you want to add, the structural integrity of your current home, the selections and finishes you choose, and permits required. For a more precise estimation, please contact our team for a quote.

Should I add to my house or remodel it?

When considering your options, the difference lies here: a remodel can free up your space, but home additions are the only way to add square footage. Only you can decide which of the two will serve your goals, and we’ll help you come to the decision of which is feasible. When you discuss it with us, we’ll consider your budget, your space requirements, zoning and regulations, your long-term goals, and your desired project timeline among other things to give clarity to your decision.

What’s the difference between an addition and a bump-out?

The main difference is the size and scale. A home addition is the construction of a completely new section onto your home (either to the ground level or adding a level) to add significant square footage, usually in the form of full rooms. A bump-out is a smaller addition that extends from a single existing room to expand floor area but is not a completely new room or wing. Unlike additions that can be multi-level, bump-outs are typically done room by room on the ground level only.

Should I add a story or add to the ground level?

Deciding between a pop-top (second-story addition) or a ground-level addition will depend primarily on structural feasibility. We can determine if your house’s foundation and structure can support an additional story as part of our pre-construction process. Building regulations and local zoning laws may also play a role in determining the feasibility of adding a level vs. adding to the ground level. This decision will also depend on your budget, as adding a story generally involves more extensive construction than adding to the ground level. Reach out to us with any questions you may have on your project.
