From Martinsville in the hills to Bradley Gardens, Finderne and Green Knoll, we design and engineer additions, second stories and renovations across Bridgewater Township.
Bridgewater is one of Somerset County's largest suburbs, covering about 32 square miles between the Raritan River and the first ridge of the Watchung Mountains. Its sections differ: Martinsville in the hilly northeast is mostly residential, while Bradley Gardens, Finderne and Green Knoll hold established neighborhoods closer to Somerville and Bound Brook.
Bridgewater also carries a lot of history, including the Van Horne and Van Veghten houses and the Washington Camp Ground at Middlebrook. For homeowners, the more practical point is that the township's housing ranges from older homes to later subdivisions, and each calls for a different approach to an addition.
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 New Jersey, most additions and structural renovations need zoning approval from the town before the construction permit, and the construction permit itself is reviewed under the state Uniform Construction Code. When a design needs relief from a setback, coverage or height limit, it goes to the town's land use board for a variance hearing.
In Martinsville and the northeast, slopes affect footings, drainage and grading. Near the Raritan River, some properties fall within mapped flood areas. We check both during the first site visit so the design responds to the site.
Many Bridgewater homes are good candidates for a second story or a large rear addition. We evaluate the existing foundation and framing early and design the new structure to suit.
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.
We check the current flood mapping for your property before design and plan for any requirements that apply.
