More room in the house you already own, framed and finished so the new part reads like it was always there.
What A Lincoln
Addition Includes
An addition has to meet a house that is already standing. We measure what is there, draw the new part to match it, and stage the build so you can keep living at home.
- Existing conditions surveyWe measure what is there and locate the structure, plumbing, and wiring the new work has to meet.
- Build out or build upYour lot, your foundation, and the roof you have now decide whether the room goes beside the house or on top of it.
- Design that fits the houseRoof pitch, siding rhythm, window proportions, and ceiling heights matched so the addition sits with the original.
- Structural coordinationBeams, headers, and footings worked out with an engineer wherever we take a wall out or add above.
- Permits with the City of LincolnDrawings prepared, submitted, and carried through plan review comments until the city signs off.
- Construction and finishesOur crew frames it, ties into the existing systems, and finishes the space down to tile, fixtures, and trim.

Questions
Before You Book
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
Our additions start at $150,000. Past that, the price depends on the foundation, what is in the new space, and how much of the existing house the work touches, so we price an addition after we have seen the house. We build cost-plus with a standard markup, and you see every invoice we receive.
Yes. The City of Lincoln lists additions among the projects that need a building permit, and anything that changes the footprint, the structure, or the plumbing and electrical almost always does. We prepare the documents, submit them, and handle the plan review back and forth.
It depends on your lot, your foundation, and your roof. Building out needs yard space inside the setbacks. Building up keeps the yard but asks the existing structure to carry more. We look at both before we draw.
Usually, with phasing. We sequence the build so the rooms you use daily stay usable and the dust stays behind plastic.
We stop, show you what is behind the plaster, and price the fix before we carry on. Older houses hide undersized headers, brittle wiring, and old water damage. Setting a contingency aside at the start is the honest way to plan for it.
Yes. An addition and a backyard home can be drawn together in one permit set, and we often stage them as an addition first and the backyard home second.

How we work
Our Process
Four steps, one team. You meet the people who draw your home and the people who build it on day one.
Step 1: Discovery & Site Visit
We start on your lot or in your house. We walk it with you, talk through how you live, what the budget looks like, and what the zoning allows, so the first sketch is grounded in the real site.
Step 2: Design & Permits
Our designers draw the home, from concept plans to construction documents, and we carry the permit set through the city ourselves. You see every revision before it moves forward.
Step 3: Pricing & Pre-Construction
With the drawings set, we price the build line by line, lock the schedule, and walk you through selections. Because we design and build, the people who drew the plans price them, and you see every invoice once work starts.
Step 4: Build & Handover
Our crew builds what we drew. You get one point of contact, regular walkthroughs, and a clean handover with the documents, warranties, and a home that matches the plans.
