More space, matched to your home and your local code

Adding on is the most structural work a home can undergo — foundation, framing, roofline, and tie-ins all have to be engineered and permitted correctly. We manage the whole process, from feasibility and design through permits and final finishes.

Additions and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are handled differently by each jurisdiction — the City of Oviedo, unincorporated Seminole County, and the City of Orlando each set their own rules. We build to what actually applies to your Lake Nona lot.

Lake Nona, Orange County

What a home addition in Lake Nona involves

We work throughout Lake Nona — from Laureate Park and Village Walk to Northlake Park, Water's Edge, Eagle Creek. Lake Nona is a fast-growing planned district around Medical City in southeast Orlando, and it sits in Orange County, part of the Greater Orlando area we cover from our base in Oviedo.

Permitting for a Lake Nona home addition goes through City of Orlando Permitting Services. Lake Nona runs its own building department, so plan review and inspections stay local. We deal with that office directly on your behalf.

Alongside Lake Nona, we regularly take on work in nearby Orange County communities including Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland and Baldwin Park.

Every Lake Nona home addition we take on is run by the same licensed general contractor (CGC1539321) that pulls the permit — so there is one point of accountability from the first walkthrough in Laureate Park or Village Walk through final inspection with City of Orlando Permitting Services.

Additions & ADUs FAQ

Common questions

It depends on your city or county's zoning, lot size, and setbacks — the rules differ across Oviedo, unincorporated Seminole County, and Orlando. We check what applies to your specific lot before you spend money on design. In Lake Nona, that review goes through City of Orlando Permitting Services, and we build their turnaround into the schedule we give you.
Most room additions run about 3–5 months from permit to finish; second stories and ADUs take longer. Engineering and permitting happen before we break ground, and we give you a schedule up front. For Lake Nona specifically: Lake Nona is within the City of Orlando — permits go through the City of Orlando.
Yes — additions require structural engineering and permitting, and we coordinate both, plus any HOA or architectural-review approval, as part of the project. We do this work across Lake Nona and the wider Orange County area from our base in Oviedo.
An addition expands your existing home; an ADU is a separate living unit with its own kitchen and bath, whether detached or a garage conversion. They're permitted differently — we'll explain which fits your goal. If your project is in Lake Nona, we'll walk the space with you before quoting.
