Upper Nazareth has nearly doubled in size since 2000. We design and engineer additions, second stories and renovations for its homes.
Upper Nazareth Township covers about seven square miles of Northampton County beside the borough of Nazareth, with villages including Christian Springs, Eastlawn Gardens, Georgetown, Penn Allen and Schoeneck. Most residents live in the East Lawn area northeast of Nazareth, and the population grew from about 4,400 in 2000 to more than 8,100 in 2020. Monocacy Creek and Bushkill Creek drain the township.
Much of the housing is newer, and owners are now adding primary suites, sunrooms and finished basements. Our engineers work with the engineered framing common in newer homes, and with the older framing of village houses.
Licensed architects and professional engineers on one team, one contract and one set of signed and sealed drawings. See all of our services.

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.
Many neighborhoods have homeowner associations with their own rules. We design to those as well as township zoning.
Properties along Monocacy and Bushkill 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.
