Our Simple Extension Process
Building an addition requires precision, planning, and perfect integration with the existing structure. Our process is designed to minimize disruption and maximize quality.
Feasibility & Concept
We assess your existing structure, confirm setback limits and zoning requirements, and develop preliminary architectural concepts for your expansion.
Design & Final Plans
Our architects develop detailed plans for the new space, structural engineering requirements, and material specifications, ensuring seamless tie-in to the existing home.
Permits & Pre-Construction
We handle all necessary engineering, soil tests, and city permits. This ensures your project is compliant and ready for construction without delay.
Structural Build & Tie-In
The most crucial phase: we build the new foundation, frame the addition, and precisely connect the new structure to the old, completing all necessary rough-ins (plumbing, electrical, HVAC).
Finishes & Final Touches
Installation of roofing, siding, insulation, drywall, flooring, and all custom finishes. We focus on matching existing finishes or upgrading the entire home for a cohesive look.
Handover
The final inspection is complete. We clean the site and conduct a walkthrough, delivering your new, enlarged, and perfectly integrated home addition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get personalized answers during your free consultation, or check out the most common questions we hear from Orange County homeowners.
Will the addition match the look of my current home?
Yes. Our primary goal in extension design is “Integrated Design.” We meticulously match roofing materials, exterior siding, window styles, and interior finishes to ensure the addition is aesthetically harmonious with the original structure.
How long does an average home extension take?
Most standard home extensions, including design, permitting, and construction, take between 8 to 14 months. This timeframe can vary depending on the complexity (e.g., ground-up addition vs. second story) and local permitting review times.
What is the return on investment (ROI) for an extension?
ROI varies by location and project type (kitchen/bathroom extensions typically yield the highest returns), but a well-designed addition generally provides an excellent ROI, particularly in high-demand markets like Orange County, often recovering 60-85% of the cost upon resale.

Why Choose an Extension Over Moving?
A home extension allows you to solve your space constraints while preserving your roots, minimizing transaction costs, and gaining a custom-designed space that moving simply can’t offer.
Maintain Your Location
Stay in the neighborhood you love, keep your kids in their schools, and maintain existing community ties. An extension is the ultimate way to get a new home feel without a new address.
Seamless Integration & Flow
Our Design-Build approach ensures your addition is structurally sound and aesthetically perfect. We guarantee the new space will transition flawlessly from the old, maintaining consistent materials, roofing lines, and architectural style. The result is a home that looks whole, not added on.
Smartest Investment
Extensions are one of the most reliable ways to increase property value, often yielding a high return on investment (ROI). You gain immediate functional space and a significant increase in market appeal when it's time to sell.
Custom Functionality
Whether you need a dedicated Home Office, a luxurious Master Suite, a versatile ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), or an open-concept living area, we design the addition to meet your precise needs—down to the exact placement of windows and outlets.
