Along South Mountain and the Saucon Creek valley, we design and engineer additions, renovations and new homes for Upper Saucon homeowners.
Upper Saucon Township covers about 25 square miles of southeastern Lehigh County, established in 1743, and surrounds the borough of Coopersburg. It has grown steadily, from about 12,000 residents in 2000 to nearly 17,000 in 2020. Elevations run from about 340 feet in Spring Valley to 1,042 feet at Bauer Rock in Big Rock County Park on South Mountain, and Saucon Creek drains to the Lehigh River.
Newer homes, older farmhouses and houses on wooded hillside 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.
Hillside lots on South Mountain bring slope, rock and drainage questions. We study the site early and design footings and retaining walls for actual conditions.
Properties along Saucon Creek 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.
