Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom plan sets designed for Boston-area lots — complete drawings with engineering, tailored to your property, and ready to file within two weeks of plan selection.
Plans and engineering only — we don't build. Your contractor works from our permit-ready set.
$3,500–$4,500 for a complete plan set. No hourly design fees, no open-ended custom process.
Every plan is designed to meet BPDA and Article 53 requirements, so you skip months of review cycles.
Site-specific adjustments by our principal engineer are included with every package.

No — we're a design and engineering firm, not a construction company. You receive a complete, permit-ready plan set and your contractor builds from it. That separation keeps our pricing fixed and our recommendations honest.
