From specialty flood ramps, foundation piers that can handle VE zone wave action, to breakaway stairs and elevator pits…..we have the expertise to meet all the rigorous requirements put for by State, Town and Federal regulators to accomplish your project goals.
We have extensive experience designing both residential and commercial projects in sensitive site locations including buildings inside the VE and AE zones. In addition, we design many renovations and expansions to existing grandfathered buildings that are located partially or entirely inside HAT Highest Annual Tide Setbacks to maximize expansion capabilities.

All aspects of the project are regulated from building heights, floor heights, structural detailing to building access.
