Design & Engineering Built for North Huntingdon Properties
A few things come up again and again on North Huntingdon jobs: older ranch homes with undersized foundations that need an engineering review before an addition, and clay soils that need real drainage planning. 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
- Older ranch homes with undersized foundations that need an engineering review before an addition
- Clay soils that need real drainage planning
- Old coal-region utilities that have to be located before we dig
Seasonal Considerations
Concrete and foundation work has to be scheduled around freeze-thaw from November through March. Spring fills up fast with additions and garages, and summer is when most new construction gets framed.
