From Farmersville to Butztown and Middletown, we design and engineer additions, second stories and renovations for Bethlehem Township homeowners.
Bethlehem Township covers about 15 square miles of Northampton County east of the city of Bethlehem, formed in 1746, with villages including Brodhead, Butztown, Farmersville, Middletown and part of Prospect Park. The Lehigh River separates it from Lower Saucon Township, and Monocacy Creek and Nancy Run run through it.
Established suburban neighborhoods and older village homes make up much of the township. Our engineers evaluate the existing structure first, then design the addition or second floor with the architecture.
Licensed architects and professional engineers on one team, one contract and one set of signed and sealed drawings. See all of our services.
Rear, side and wraparound additions for kitchens, family rooms and primary suites, with the existing house evaluated by our engineers.
New floors over ranches, capes, garages and one story wings, with foundations and framing checked and reinforced as needed.
Whole house and partial renovations, wall removals and open plans, basements and attics, with structure and systems designed in house.
Ground up single family homes and teardown rebuilds, from site planning to sealed construction drawings.
Decks, covered porches, pergolas and garages engineered for footings, ledgers and loads.
Beam replacements, foundation fixes and engineer's letters for homeowners, buyers and insurers.
In Pennsylvania, building permits are reviewed under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code by the township or borough, zoning comes first, and a project that needs relief from the zoning ordinance goes to the Zoning Hearing Board.
Properties along the Lehigh River, Monocacy Creek and Nancy Run may be near mapped flood areas. We check flood mapping before design.
Homes from the 1950s through the 1990s are good candidates for second stories and large additions. We check the original framing and design any reinforcement.
However your project is approved, we deliver signed and sealed drawings to you, support you and your contractor through the permit submission and answer the building department's review comments in house. Read how a project moves from consultation to close out on our process page.
