From the historic borough to the township neighborhoods around it, we design and engineer additions, second stories and renovations for Newtown homeowners.
Newtown Township covers about 12 square miles of Bucks County and surrounds Newtown Borough, each with its own government. William Penn bought the land from the Lenape in 1683 and called it his New Township, and Newtown served as the county seat from 1726 until 1813. Core Creek, Neshaminy Creek and Newtown Creek run through the area, and Tyler State Park sits on its edge.
Older borough homes and later township subdivisions both see a lot of additions: larger kitchens and family rooms, primary suites and second floors. Our engineers evaluate the existing house first and design the structure with the architecture.

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.
Because the borough and the township are separate municipalities with their own zoning, the first step is confirming which one your home is in. We do that before design starts.
Properties along Neshaminy, Core and Newtown 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.
They are separate municipalities with separate zoning. We confirm which applies before design.
Often, yes. We check the existing foundation and framing first.
