Riverview Addition

Renovation and addition to a 1790s non-registered historic home on a constrained riverfront lot. Homeowners remained in residence throughout construction.

Challenges.

  • Support of Excavation (SOE) required for safe construction

  • Zoning approvals and neighbor coordination

  • Proximity to riverfront and conservation oversight

  • Phased construction while maintaining full occupancy

Strategic Approach.

  • Developed phased construction plan to allow homeowners to live in the home safely

  • Coordinated with town authorities to secure zoning approvals efficiently

  • Integrated structural and excavation requirements to minimize risk

Outcome.

  • Project delivered on schedule with minimal disruption to homeowners

  • Smooth regulatory approvals and successful integration of complex structural requirements

  • Homeowners experienced peace of mind and confidence throughout construction

Signature Move.

  • Phased construction planning that balanced technical constraints with client comfort and safety
