Residential Additions, Renovations & New Homes
A successful residential project starts with the house, the property and the local approval process. BAWI helps homeowners understand what may be possible, develop a practical design and prepare the architectural documents needed for permits and construction.

How the Process Works
- Understand the project. We discuss your goals, budget considerations, property address and the space you need.
- Review the property. We review available surveys, records, zoning requirements and existing conditions that may affect the design.
- Develop the design. We prepare a clear plan that responds to the house, the site and the way you want to live.
- Prepare drawings and approvals. We develop the architectural documents and coordinate responses to municipal review comments.
