Make the scope clear
Add the room
you keep wishing for.
An addition changes more than square footage. Start with the daily problem it needs to solve, then consider how the new space connects to the rest of the house.
01
A larger everyday living area
Compare room size, natural light and the connection to your kitchen, dining area or yard. Bring furniture dimensions so the plan has a purpose beyond an empty floor plan.
Explore the possibilities 02A room with a specific job
Explain who will use the space and what they need. A bedroom, office and family room can call for different privacy, storage and utility decisions.
Explore the possibilities 03A clear connection to the existing home
Talk through openings, floor levels, roof connections and the finishes you want to carry through. Existing conditions belong in the estimate conversation.

Working with Metro
Your home.
Your priorities.
Start with what matters to your household. Discuss the decisions, existing conditions and daily routines that the project needs to account for.
Plan around life at home
Discuss access, pets, parking, protection and the rooms or outdoor areas you need to keep using while work is planned.
Understand what the proposal covers
Ask about existing conditions, selections, allowances and exclusions. Clear assumptions make the next decision easier.
Working with Metro
From the first conversation
to a defined plan.
01
Share the home and the space problem
Send the Denver address, photos, a rough room list and any drawings you already have. Explain what no longer works in the current layout.
02
Review the addition and the house together
Discuss the footprint, access, existing utilities and where the work meets occupied rooms. Identify the design and property information still needed.
03
Compare a defined construction scope
Review the room plan, finish allowances, work on existing spaces and exclusions. Separate design, city review and construction when discussing timing.
Denver planning and estimate details
Plan around
your Denver property.
A rear addition in Washington Park and a side addition near Sloan’s Lake can have different access and lot questions. Share the exact address, alley or driveway access and any existing survey before settling on a footprint.
Denver Community Planning and Development publishes a specific guide for new homes and additions. It explains the city review process and property information to check. An idea that fits your room list still needs to be assessed against the site and applicable approvals.
Denver’s new-home and addition planning guide- Size and connection points
The footprint, foundation work and connections to the existing home affect the construction scope.
- Utilities and room use
A room with plumbing, added heating needs or moved services differs from a simple dry living area.
- Finishes and occupied-home work
Include flooring transitions, matching materials, protection and access in the comparison.
A useful estimate names the work, assumptions, allowances and exclusions. Share the decisions that are still open.

Questions worth
working through.
Bring these details into the first conversation so the proposed work matches your priorities.
Should I add a room or remodel the space I have?
If the existing footprint can meet the room list, compare remodeling before assuming an addition is needed. Share both options with Metro so the conversation covers the home as a whole.
Can I request an estimate before I have drawings?
Yes. Explain the rooms, address and current stage first. Drawings and site information may be needed before a detailed construction estimate can be prepared.
Can we stay in the house during an addition?
That depends on the connection points, utility interruptions, access and protection needed. Discuss the occupied rooms and any periods when you would need another arrangement.
Is an ADU the same as a home addition?
An addition expands the main home. An accessory dwelling unit is a separate living unit and brings its own layout and approval questions. Explore ADU construction when that is the project you have in mind.
The next useful step

project connected.
