Home Additions
Engineered, permitted square footage — from foundation and framing through roof tie-in and finished interior.
Overview
Home Additions in Orlando & Central Florida
An addition is a small building attached to an existing one. It needs engineered drawings, a foundation that matches the existing structure, a roof tie-in that will not leak, and mechanical systems sized for the new load.
STRUXA manages the whole path: site review, engineering coordination, permitting, foundation, framing, dry-in, mechanicals, and interior finishes — so the new space reads as part of the original house, not an attachment.
We confirm setbacks, easements, and HOA requirements before you spend money on drawings, and we tell you honestly when an addition is not the cheapest way to get the space you want.

How It Works
Four Steps, Home Additions
- 01
Feasibility
We walk the site, check setbacks and structure, and confirm the addition is buildable before drawings start.
- 02
Design & Estimate
Engineered plans coordinated, then a written, itemized estimate tied to those drawings.
- 03
Build
Permit, foundation, framing, dry-in, mechanicals, and finishes, with inspections at each phase.
- 04
Walkthrough
Final inspection, certificate of completion, and a punch list closed out with you on site.

Home Additions FAQ

Plan on three to six months for most residential additions. Roughly a third of that is design, engineering, and permit review before any work begins on site.
Yes. Florida building code requires sealed structural drawings for new conditioned square footage, including wind-load design. We coordinate directly with the engineer so the plans reflect what we intend to build.
That is the goal. We match roof pitch, siding or stucco texture, window profiles, and trim details. Where an exact match is not available, we tell you before ordering and show you the closest option.
Sometimes. It depends on the existing foundation and wall framing capacity, which an engineer has to evaluate. We arrange that evaluation first — building up is not always cheaper than building out.
In most Central Florida communities, yes. HOA architectural review runs parallel to county permitting, and we help you assemble the submittal package so the two timelines do not collide.
