A major renovation or new home in Atherton starts with more than a finish palette. Existing plans, the proposed building area, trees and the way construction will reach the site all belong in the first scope conversation. Aziz Construction works with homeowners in our selected Atherton service area on residential construction and remodeling.

Gather the site information before pricing the build

The Town’s permit resources include a square-footage worksheet, tree-protection acknowledgement, soils-report waiver request and special-inspection documents. Which documents apply depends on the proposed work and property; use the current Town materials with your project professionals rather than assuming a previous project’s checklist will fit.

Prepare for the construction conversation

Bring available plans, surveys and permit history, and identify which parts of the home will remain.
Discuss trees and landscaping that need protection, plus delivery, equipment and staging access.
Separate construction scope from design documents, specialist reports, fees and owner selections in the proposal.

Can a remodel and an addition be planned together?

Yes, they can be discussed as one construction scope. First establish the rooms to be changed, the added space you want and the design information still needed. The Town and your project professionals determine the applicable review path; a general consultation cannot confirm buildable area.
