Frequently asked questions

Do I need an architect?
Yes for any true addition. The village will require stamped plans for the permit. We refer architects we've worked with and coordinate the hand-off.
How long before I can use the space?
Plan on 3–6 months from permit to occupancy for a typical single-story addition. Second-story and primary suite additions run longer.
