Home Additions in Lancaster Pa

Home Additions in Lancaster Pa with Brookline Builders Inc.

If you would like to build a home addition in Lancaster or surrounding counties, the first thing you must do is obtain preliminary plans for the project.

A good builder and design team will be able to direct you during the preliminary plan process, if the proposed addition will meet current township zoning laws. It wouldn't be wise to complete the plans only to find out the addition is encroaching on a right-a-way.

Once preliminary plans are completed you can either move on to final plans if you have picked the builder, or you could put the job out to bid. Remember though, the builder, design team you are working with may not allow you to take the plans unless you have previously discussed this issue.

If you have picked a builder for your home addition, then it is time for the building permits. Building permits can take anywhere from 7 to 30 days to obtain here in Lancaster Pa. Permit offices can't be rushed.

When the permit is in hand the excitement begins. For most home additions you should allow two - four months for completion.

Historic Awareness in Lancaster Pa

Building in Lancaster Pa is exciting and rewarding, offering many unique opportunities not available in other parts of the country. Lancaster Pa has beautiful older historic homes in the USA, and due to the recent construction boom, many new homes as well. Builders in Lancaster Pa must be ready and able to adapt to the many different construction types. Reputable builders will attempt to protect the historic nature of our beautiful old homes, inside and out. Although there are many building codes designed to protect the consumer from shoddy workmanship, there are very few codes, except in a few historic districts, that protect architectural elements of the home. Although it is not always financially expedient to protect and preserve all historic elements of a home, awareness of these defining historic items goes a long way for the preservation of them.
