Additions
The hardest line in an addition is the one where new construction meets the existing house. Getting it right is structure first, finish second.
An addition succeeds when you cannot find the seam: foundations that do not settle apart from the original, floor levels that carry through, a roofline that looks planned rather than attached. That takes real structural work at the connection, not just matching siding.
Additions also live and die on approvals. Setbacks, lot coverage, and height rules decide what can be built before design taste enters into it, and in older GTA neighbourhoods a minor variance is often part of the job. We establish what the lot allows first, so the design you fall in love with is one that can be approved.
Because Eden frames with its own crews, the shell goes up tight and true, and the parts of your house that stay untouched are protected while the new part is built beside them.
