From compact bump-outs to second-storey builds, we engineer tie-ins, protect the building envelope, and plan work to minimize disruption—so your new space looks original to the home.
We coordinate with your structural engineer to splice foundations, align loads, and upgrade shear/hold-downs where required.
Rain-screen assemblies, window/door flashing, and roof tie-ins that withstand coastal rain and wind.
Phased access, dust control, and weekly budget/schedule updates keep you informed and comfortable at home.
| Addition Type | Typical Duration | Typical Range (CAD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rear/Lateral Addition Most common | 24–36 weeks | $250k–$650k | Foundation tie-ins, rain-screen, window/door package, kitchen or living expansion. |
| Second-Storey Addition | 28–44 weeks | $350k–$800k+ | Seismic/structural upgrades, stair insertion, roof removal/rebuild, MEP re-distribution. |

*Ranges reflect Vancouver & the Lower Mainland. Final pricing is confirmed after design, engineering, and a site review.
Often, yes—subject to zoning, height limits, structural capacity, and seismic upgrades. We run a feasibility check against local bylaws and your existing structure before design.
Most rear/lateral additions fall between $250k–$650k, while second-storey additions are commonly $350k–$800k+. Smaller bump-outs can start around $80k. We refine numbers after feasibility and design.
Yes. We align siding profiles, trims, roof pitches, window/door proportions, and interior details (floors, casings, paint) to look original to the house.
Yes. We coordinate structural engineering, drawings, permit submissions, and inspections—including responses to city comments.
