2ND STORY ADDITIONS
What is a Second Story Addition?

It depends on the project, but typically you will need the following plans:
1. The Existing Plans (As-Built Plans) showing the exact location of walls, windows, doors and fixtures.
2. The Demo or Demolition Plan - Showing what walls, windows, doors and fixtures are to be removed.
3. The Proposed Plans - Showing the new layout of the remodeled spaces.
4. Door & Window Schedules - Showing the size and locations of any new doors and windows.
5. Proposed Elevations - Showing how the house will look on all sides that have the new addition.

7. Proposed Roof Plan - Showing how the new roof will work with the existing room (if you are keeping any of the existing roof)
