From the historic Main Street in Lawrenceville to Colonial Lakelands, Slackwood and Eldridge Park, we design and engineer additions, renovations and new homes for Lawrence Township homeowners.
Lawrence Township sits between Princeton and Trenton, with neighborhoods that span two centuries. Lawrenceville village has 18th and 19th century homes along Main Street, while much of the rest of the township grew with mid century and later subdivisions. That mix means one family is planning a sensitive addition to an old house while their neighbor is planning a second story on a ranch.
Whether you are adding on or starting over, our team handles the architecture and the engineering under one contract.
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.
The Lawrence Township Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1972, covers about 550 acres centered on Lawrenceville. If your home is in or near the village, we look at how an addition reads from the street and design new work that sits comfortably beside the original house.
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.
Mid century ranches and split levels elsewhere in the township are some of the best candidates for second story additions. We evaluate the existing foundation and framing first, then design the reinforcement and the new structure so the addition is buildable and priced correctly.
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.
It depends on the condition of the house, what zoning allows on your lot, and your budget. We can study both and give you a clear comparison before you decide.
Many can. We check the existing foundation and framing and design what is needed to support the new floor.
Yes. For older homes near Main Street we pay close attention to scale, rooflines and materials so the addition fits the house and the street.
