Plainsboro sits right next to Princeton. We design and engineer additions, renovations and structural changes for single family homes and townhouses across the township.
Plainsboro grew from a farming community into a planned suburb, with neighborhoods such as Princeton Meadows and the Plainsboro Village Center alongside preserved land like the former Princeton Nurseries, now a National Register historic district. Homes here range from townhouses to larger single family houses on cul de sacs.
The most common requests we see from homes like these are kitchen and living area reworks that remove walls, basement and attic conversions, and rear additions for more space. Each one depends on structure, and our engineers design it alongside the architecture so the drawings are complete and permit ready.
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 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.
Many Plainsboro homes are part of homeowner associations or planned developments with rules on exterior changes. We review those requirements with you at the start and prepare drawings suitable for the association as well as the township.
For townhouses and attached homes, shared walls and fire separation requirements shape what is possible. We will tell you up front what can be done and design within it.
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.
Often, yes, if it is designed properly. Shared walls and fire separations limit some changes, so we review the structure first and tell you what is possible.
If your neighborhood has an association, yes. We design to its requirements so approvals move together.
Our main office is in Princeton, a few minutes away.
