Home Additions
An addition should be evaluated for its relationship to the existing building as well as the space it creates. Visibility, scale, exterior details and property constraints may affect the design and review path. BST coordinates architecture, engineering and permitting around a feasible scope; approval, size and timing are not assumed in advance.
