Structural engineering, drawings, and permit management with the local municipality.
Murrysville has large wooded lots and a lot of homes from the 1980s and 1990s that are due for a bigger kitchen, a master suite, or a three-car garage. We also build custom homes on the open lots that are still available. We have been doing design and engineering here since 2015, and the same project manager runs your job from the first site visit to the final inspection.

Design & Engineering Built for Murrysville Properties
A few things come up again and again on Murrysville jobs: wooded lots that need clearing and stump removal before anything else, and rolling terrain that needs an engineered drainage plan. We plan for both before we price the work, and we know what the local building department wants to see on a permit application, which keeps the review from dragging on.
Common challenges we address here
- Wooded lots that need clearing and stump removal before anything else
- Rolling terrain that needs an engineered drainage plan
- Well and septic systems on older properties that have to be located before we dig
- HOA approvals in the newer plans
Seasonal Considerations
Murrysville's elevation means a bit more snow than Pittsburgh, and the spring thaw can leave soils too saturated for a foundation pour. We schedule footings around that, and most custom homes get framed over the summer.

JP Construction managed our architect coordination and permit applications for a complex addition. Everything was submitted correctly the first time and approved without a single revision request. Smooth process.
Our project sat stalled for months because of permit issues before we found JP Construction. They sorted out the documentation, resubmitted, and had approvals in hand within three weeks. Wish we had called them first.
