Building Better Homes in Denver: The Sustainable Design Build Approach
Sustainable Design Build co-founder and General Contractor Zach McKendry recently discussed that philosophy on the Edge of Success podcast. Drawing from a lifetime around residential construction and years of experience working directly with Denver homeowners, Zach spoke about something that has become fundamental to how we approach projects at SDB.
Denver Home Addition vs. Rebuild: Why Denver homeowners add on instead of scraping and starting over
For many Denver homeowners, a Denver home addition can make more sense than tearing down an existing house and starting over. This is especially true when the existing home has a usable foundation, sound structure, favorable placement on the lot, or architectural character worth preserving.
Can You Convert a Garage Into an ADU in Denver
Is a home addition worth the cost in Denver? Learn when adding onto your existing home makes more sense than moving, what costs to compare, and how to evaluate an addition before you build.
Can You Convert a Garage Into an ADU in Denver
Many existing detached garages were constructed as non-living accessory structures, often with garage-specific slab and foundation assemblies. Turning that structure into an accessory dwelling unit changes the project into habitable residential space and introduces different requirements for the foundation, structure, insulation, energy efficiency, utilities, life safety and building envelope.
Why Are Second-Story Additions So Popular in Denver?
A second-story addition, often called a pop-top addition, gives Denver homeowners something that can be difficult to find in established neighborhoods: significantly more living space without increasing the home’s footprint. For homeowners who like their neighborhood but have outgrown their house, building upward can provide the bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, and flexible living spaces they need without requiring a move.
