Talk with RGR
An addition that starts with how you live
An addition starts with the room you wish you had and the way you want it to connect to the rest of your home. Tell RGR what the new space needs to do and which existing rooms you want to keep using while the project is underway.
Your project manager helps bring the addition and the existing house into one construction conversation: foundations, framing, roof connections, finishes and the required plans. We discuss those relationships with you before the details are treated as separate decisions.
Start with the room you need
Tell us which rooms or activities need more space and what matters most to you. Existing drawings, a survey and photos help establish the starting point.
If your goal is another bedroom, living area or office, describe the intended use and the rooms that need to stay usable. Compare changing the existing layout with adding new space in the remodel-or-add-on guide. An attached room addition and a detached ADU require different project discussions.
Plan the connections
An addition can involve foundations, framing, roof tie-ins, exterior finishes and utilities. Identify design responsibility, engineering, permits, inspections and any association requirements as part of the plan.
An attached addition extends the existing house; a detached accessory dwelling unit is a separate structure. Our remodel-or-add-on guide compares those options. The Castle Hayne ADU project documents detached construction.
What shapes your estimate?
A useful estimate defines the work, materials and assumptions before the total. These are the main factors to discuss for your property.
Size and connection to the home
Foundations, framing, roof tie-ins and the way new space meets the existing home guide the scope.
Plans and finishes
Layout, trade work, material selections and required approvals affect the proposal.
Existing property conditions
Access, utilities and concealed conditions can affect construction sequencing and allowances.

Home Additions FAQs
Can you add a new room to my existing home?
RGR builds connected living space with a defined design and construction scope. The existing house and property need review, including framing, roof drainage, utilities and how you intend to use the new space.
Do I need drawings before contacting you?
You can start by sharing your goals, address, and any existing plans. The team can discuss what design information or additional investigation is needed before a construction scope is finalized.
Who handles permits and inspections for an addition?
Permit and inspection requirements depend on the work and the property’s jurisdiction. Confirm who will obtain approvals and arrange inspections when the scope is prepared; share any HOA requirements before work is scheduled.
Can we live in the house while the addition is built?
That depends on the work and the areas affected. Discuss access, noise, dust, pets, and any loss of essential rooms or utilities before scheduling so you can plan around the construction.
How is a home addition different from a detached ADU?
An attached addition creates connected living space at the existing house. A detached ADU is a separate structure. Compare access, utilities, design and required approvals when deciding which scope suits your property.
