Our Process

Our Process

At Durham Home Additions, we believe in making the home addition process as seamless and transparent as possible. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each step:

Step 1: Engineering and Planning

The foundation of any successful home addition starts with engineered drawings. These detailed architectural plans ensure the structural integrity of your addition and meet all city building codes.

  • Our expert team collaborates with you to understand your vision and translates it into precise technical designs.
  • This includes submitting drawings to the city for approvals, addressing any required adjustments for permit acceptance, and preparing the project for the next phase.
  • This step ensures we have a clear roadmap for construction, avoiding delays and ensuring compliance with regulations.

Step 2: Site Preparation and Permits

Once the plans are approved, we prepare the site for construction.

  • This includes clearing the area, making necessary structural reinforcements, and ensuring utilities are ready for expansion.
  • Our team also handles all the necessary permits, working closely with the city to meet legal requirements, so you don’t have to worry about paperwork.

Step 3: Framing and Structural Work

With the foundation laid, we begin framing your new addition.

  • This includes constructing walls, floors, and roof structures to create the framework for your second story.
  • We use high-quality materials to ensure strength, stability, and longevity.

Step 4: Utilities and Interior Work

Next, we install electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to make your addition fully functional.

  • This phase also involves insulation, drywall, and any required interior structural adjustments.
  • You’ll start to see your vision take shape as the new rooms come together.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

The final step is adding the finishes that make your addition uniquely yours.

  • From painting and flooring to custom cabinetry and fixtures, we ensure every detail is completed to your specifications.
  • Whether you prefer a basic builder finish or premium upgrades, our team delivers a space that is ready to enjoy.

By following this comprehensive process, we ensure your home addition is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. Ready to start your dream project? Contact us today!
