About Building Addition
A building addition is the expansion of an existing structure to increase its size, functionality, or capacity. Additions may include new classrooms, offices, residential units, or commercial spaces, and require careful integration with the original structure.
Structural engineers evaluate the existing building, design connections for new loads, and apply current building codes to create safe, efficient, and durable additions.
