From Fogelsville and Breinigsville to Trexlertown, we design and engineer additions, second stories and renovations for Upper Macungie homeowners.
Upper Macungie Township covers about 26 square miles of Lehigh County, created in 1832 when Macungie Township was divided, with communities including Breinigsville, Fogelsville, Trexlertown and Kuhnsville. Its population nearly doubled between 2000 and 2020, making it one of the fastest growing municipalities in Pennsylvania. Tributaries of Little Lehigh Creek and Jordan Creek drain the township.
Much of the housing is newer, built during that growth, and owners are now finishing basements, adding sunrooms and primary suites and opening up floor plans. Our engineers work with the engineered framing common in newer homes.
Licensed architects and professional engineers on one team, one contract and one set of signed and sealed drawings. See all of our services.

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.

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.
Newer homes often use engineered trusses and joists. Cutting new openings or adding loads needs a careful design, and we provide it alongside the architecture.
Many neighborhoods have homeowner associations with their own rules. We design to those 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.
