Understanding Seattle’s Unique Needs

The Greater Seattle area is known for its varied terrain, from the hilly neighborhoods of Capitol Hill to the waterfront properties along Puget Sound. This diversity requires specialized knowledge in dealing with soil conditions, seismic activity, and weather-related factors like heavy rainfall. Our team is highly skilled in designing solutions that not only meet but exceed local building codes and standards, ensuring that your home is safe, resilient, and built to last.

Local Regulations and Compliance

Navigating the complex landscape of local building regulations is a crucial part of any construction project. We have extensive experience working with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) and other local authorities. This ensures that our designs are fully compliant with the latest zoning laws, environmental regulations, and seismic codes, streamlining the approval process and minimizing delays.

Seattle-Specific Solutions

  • Seismic Retrofitting: Seattle’s position along the Cascadia Subduction Zone means that earthquake preparedness is essential. We specialize in seismic retrofitting to strengthen your home’s foundation and structure, protecting your property from potential earthquake damage.

  • Waterproofing and Drainage: With Seattle’s reputation for rainy weather, effective waterproofing and drainage systems are vital to preventing water damage and maintaining the structural integrity of your home. Our designs incorporate advanced techniques to manage water flow and prevent moisture intrusion.

  • Hillside Construction: Building on Seattle’s hilly terrain requires careful planning and expert engineering. We provide specialized services for hillside construction, ensuring that your home is securely anchored and stable, regardless of the slope.
