Lower Moreland and Huntingdon Valley homeowners call us for additions, second stories and renovations. We design and engineer each project in house.
Lower Moreland Township covers about seven square miles of eastern Montgomery County, growing from about 1,300 residents in 1930 to nearly 14,000 today. SEPTA's West Trenton Line stops at Bethayres and Philmont, and Fetter's Mill and the Bryn Athyn and Lower Moreland Bridge are on the National Register.
Single family neighborhoods built over several decades make up much of the township. Our engineers evaluate the existing house first, then design the addition, second floor or renovation alongside 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.

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.
Homes from the 1950s through the 1980s are good candidates for second stories and larger additions. We check the original framing and design any reinforcement.
Properties near creeks may be near mapped flood areas. We check flood mapping before design.
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.
