How do I know how big I can make my home if I want to add an addition?

BRP Construction’s Preliminary Consultation (more information is here) consists of reviewing and defining program requirements ; taking field measurements; researching existing conditions ; and undertaking preliminary code review (such as zoning). In addition, this phase provides a preliminary schematic design that describes the size, nature and character of the entire project. There will also be design meetings to refine the design and functionality of the space.
