PLANNING ON BUILDING A NEW HOME OR ADDITION?
Before you invest time, money, and energy, you deserve a clear path forward.
Tight House’s Feasibility Review gives you the insights you need to move ahead with confidence.
Why you need a Feasibility Review
Building more space doesn't mean adding more stress.
Too often, homeowners start dreaming about an addition without understanding:
- What local zoning laws allow (or restrict)
- Where setbacks and lot coverage limitations may impact your project
- How existing site conditions (like utilities or property features) could affect the design
- What realistic next steps look like — based on facts, not just hopes
The Feasibility Review answers these questions early, so you can make smart, informed decisions without wasting time or money.
What you’ll need to get started
Before we begin, you’ll need a few things:
- A recent (within 15–20 years) property survey by a licensed surveyor.
(If you don't have one, we can recommend surveyors in your area.)
- Photos of your home or property.
(A Zillow listing usually works if it's current.)
- Your “why.”
Whether it’s growing your family, entertaining more easily, improving flow, or building a long-term home, understanding the reason behind your project helps Tight House tailor everything to your goals.
What you’ll get
After your Feasibility Review, you’ll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of your property's development potential
- A customized zoning analysis document, overlaying your lot’s constraints and opportunities and all the relevant supporting documentation.
- A virtual meeting to walk you through the findings, answer your questions, and map out next steps
- Insight into how Tight House can guide your project—if you're ready for a true design partner.
Tight House considers views, sunpath, neighboring privacy, and site conditions that make your home truly yours to find the best configuration during this personalized sketching session.
Thoughtful analysis can deliver REMARKABLE results with minimal intervention.
This is a stand-alone, a la carte service—no obligation to move forward.
It’s a low-risk way to meet Tight House, test the waters, and set your project up for success.
