These Summit, New Jersey (located in Union County) homeowners are considering addition options. As a part of the Design Build Planners process, three plans are presented. These options vary in price ranges. You can read more about what the DBP team does here. Due to zoning restrictions involved with this project, the max of one side of the addition is limited to 4′.   The Design Build Planners created the CAD (Computer Aided Designs). Mark of Excellence Remodeling is building and managing the project.

Pictured below are photos of the existing space.

The homeowners drew their inspiration from remodeling projects featured on Houzz.com. The design options are a result of homeowners online research combined with an in-home consultation with Design Build Planners. There is also a proprietary profile checklist that homeowners fill out that depicts their lifestyle and room use. After compiling this information, Design Build Planners incorporates their construction knowledge and design creativity for the space with a focus on the budget and overall investment.
