Second storeys, rear additions and bump-outs on Kelowna homes. Structural work, permits and trades on one signed work order.
Additions
An addition touches everything: the foundation, the roof, the old walls and the new ones. It needs drawings, a permit and trades who arrive in the right order. That order is written before the first footing is dug.
- Signed work order before day one
- Every trade WorkSafeBC-cleared
- Changes priced in writing

Questions
people ask.
Do I need an architect or engineer?
Most additions in Kelowna need stamped drawings for the permit, and structural work needs an engineer. The work order lists what drawings the job is built to.
How long does an addition take?
It depends on the size and the permit. The dates go in the work order once the scope and permit timing are known, not before.
Will the new part match the old house?
Matching roofline, siding or stucco and interior trim is part of the written scope, item by item.
