Designed to Integrate, Not Just Add On

An effective addition feels like it has always belonged in the home. Our in-house designers consider structure, proportion, rooflines, circulation, and natural light to create a space that functions well and complements the architecture. By documenting key selections and confirming cost early in the process, you know how the addition will look, how it will connect to the existing home, and what to expect during construction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Additions

Curious about what to expect? Here are answers to common questions homeowners ask about home additions.

How long does a home addition take from design through construction?expand_more
Timelines vary based on size, structural needs, and the level of finish. After design and budgeting, construction often spans several months. Your specific timeline becomes clear once plans and selections are complete.
Will the addition look consistent with the rest of my home?expand_more
Yes. We study existing rooflines, materials, and overall character. Every addition is designed intentionally so it aligns with the scale and style of your home rather than appearing tacked on.
Do additions require structural changes inside the house?expand_more
Often, yes. Improving circulation or expanding living areas may involve removing walls, adding beams, or reinforcing framing. These decisions are engineered and documented during design so construction is predictable.
What impacts the cost of a home addition in the Lafayette area?expand_more
Square footage, structural work, mechanical tie ins, and selections all influence the final investment. Because we design to your goals upfront, we can provide a realistic budget based on actual materials and layouts.
Do you work in rural areas around Lafayette?expand_more
Yes. We regularly complete additions in Lafayette, West Lafayette, Battle Ground, Brookston, Rossville, and nearby rural properties.

A Proven Process That Brings Clarity to Every Project

1 | Initial Meeting and Project Understanding
We begin by meeting at your home to learn about your goals, priorities, and the challenges with your current space. This conversation helps us understand scope, feasibility, and how the project should move forward. You can expect open discussion, clear communication, and guidance based on decades of experience. The goal is to determine whether the project is the right fit and outline the next steps with confidence.
2 | Design, Planning, and Budget Alignment
Once the design agreement is signed, our team develops detailed drawings, material selections, and specifications for your project. Every decision is documented so you know exactly what the finished space will include and what it will cost. This structured planning phase often takes several weeks and ensures clarity, accuracy, and a fully developed scope before construction begins. By the end of this step, you have a complete design package and a confirmed investment.
3 | Construction and Project Completion
After approving the plans and budget, we move into construction with a clear roadmap. Our team manages the schedule, subcontractors, and quality control while keeping you updated throughout the build. The work is completed according to the approved design and specifications, ensuring consistency from planning to final walkthrough. The project concludes when every detail meets our standards and yours.

Scott’s team mirrors his professionalism and organizational skills. Their methodical approach turns the potential chaos of remodeling into a manageable, even enjoyable, journey.

Jennifer Kasper

"Scott and his team are wonderful to work with. I'm in a NAHB remodelers club with him and I know he is a person of integrity and respect. He has high standards of quality and will make sure his clients are happy and satisfied with his work and if its not right he will make it right as does everyone in the group."

Jeremy Blosser

"We really enjoyed working with Scott and his team. We did a huge remodel project with him that spanned several months.

Scott was one of three contractors that we worked with to quote this job. From the beginning we liked him the best and his quote came in the lowest which made the decision an easy. His team did a great job of communicating with us what was happening and when. They were very courteous, professional, and were kind of members of our family for a while. We did experience unplanned issues along the way, but Scott was quick to deal with them in a way that was acceptable to us. We would highly recommend them to anybody looking to do some work on their home."

Ben Schoon

"I had a bad leak in a bathroom which required the replacement of the subfloor, floor, vanity, and some drywall. S. Brown Construction worked with me to design a beautiful new bathroom with new tile and vanity. As they did the remodel, they protected the carpet on their entrance and path to the bathroom so that no damage was done to the rest of the house. Ella and Alex worked with me on scheduling their work with my schedule."

Donna Osborn

"S. Brown Construction Co. built a 400-square-foot addition to our house, integrated it with the existing structure, and also remodeled a bathroom. From the early design phase to the final completion, the team worked closely with us to ensure that our wishes were fulfilled, including not only the construction itself but also the budget. Based on our initially rough ideas, the chief designer developed a very creative and attractive plan and had a keen eye for detail. The team also worked hard to complete the project on schedule despite the challenges posed by the pandemic."
