Lower Macungie homeowners call us for primary suites, kitchen expansions, second floors and whole house renovations. We design and engineer each project in house.
Lower Macungie Township covers about 22 square miles of Lehigh County and is now the county's second largest population center after Allentown, having grown from under 9,000 residents in 1970 to more than 32,000. It includes Wescosville and surrounds the borough of Alburtis. Little Lehigh Creek and Swabia Creek drain the township, and South Mountain crosses its southern edge. The Rodale Organic Gardening Experimental Farm is on the National Register.
Housing built over five decades of growth means many kinds of additions, from second floors on older homes to sunrooms and primary suites on newer ones. Our engineers evaluate the existing structure first.

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.
Lots on the slopes of South Mountain bring grade and drainage questions, and properties along the Little Lehigh may be near flood areas. We check both before design.
Many neighborhoods have homeowner associations. We design to their rules as well as township zoning.
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.
