Lower Saucon's farmland and rolling hills hold farmhouses and newer homes on larger lots. We design and engineer additions, renovations and new homes there.
Lower Saucon Township covers about 24 square miles of Northampton County, chartered in 1743 and settled by Germans from the 1730s, with villages including Leithsville, Steel City, Seidersville, Bingen and Wydnor. It nearly surrounds the borough of Hellertown and is bordered to the north by the Lehigh River. Ehrhart's Mill Historic District, the Heller House and the 1880 Lutz-Franklin School are on the National Register.
Farmhouses, older village homes and newer houses on larger lots each need a different approach. Our architects and engineers plan structure and site together.
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.
Rural lots raise septic, well, driveway and grading questions. We address them at the start.
Properties along Saucon Creek and the Lehigh 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.
