Building a $1.2M+ Addition? It Has to Pass the First Time
When you invest in a major home addition, every detail must meet code—no matter the city.
At Paradise Found Construction, we design and build additions that pass inspection the first time. We know the local rules in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, and Holly Springs—and we build to meet them from the start.
Here’s How We Keep Your Project Moving:
Apex UDO – We review Apex’s lot coverage limits and yard requirements early so your addition or ADU meets zoning from the start.
Wake Forest UDO – We align every design with Wake Forest’s ADU guidelines and residential addition zoning to streamline approvals.
Holly Springs UDO – We ensure your project complies with Holly Springs’ height, setback, and ADU use standards so it stays on track.
We’ve worked in each of these towns—and we know what it takes to get a $1.2M+ addition approved, built, and delivered on time.
No missed steps. No costly delays. Just smart building that meets the mark.
Q: What’s the biggest mistake people make with home additions?
A: Rushing into construction without a plan. We slow down the front end—design, zoning, and layout—so the back end goes smoothly. That’s how we save clients time and money.
Q: Can you really add a second story without moving out?
A: Yes, in many cases we phase the build to keep parts of your home livable. We walk you through what to expect, room by room, before work begins.
Q: Will a $1M+ addition look like it’s always been there?
A: It will if we build it. Matching your home’s style, materials, and flow is what we do best. We don’t just add space—we make it seamless.
Q: What do inspectors flag most often—and how do you avoid it?
A: Improper setbacks, missed code changes, or incomplete docs. We build in Raleigh and nearby towns every week, so we know what each inspector looks for—and how to pass the first time.
Q: What’s one thing people always wish they had added?
A: A second washer/dryer. Seriously. When we do in-law suites or second stories, we always ask how you really live—so the design works for daily life, not just square footage.
