Do I need a permit for a home addition?

Yes. Home additions require building permits and inspections, and often zoning review for setbacks and lot coverage. RS Development Group handles the entire permitting process and builds to the Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR). Historic districts (e.g., Cambridge, Brookline) can add 8-12 weeks to the timeline.

How long does a home addition take?

Most additions run 8-16 weeks of construction depending on size and complexity, plus the permit timeline (Marlborough ~10 days; historic districts longer). We provide a clear schedule up front and keep you informed at every stage.

Can you match my existing home so the addition blends in?

Absolutely. We match rooflines, siding, trim, and window styles so the addition looks original — not bolted on. Our framing expertise ensures the new structure ties cleanly into your existing home and is built to last for generations.
