The client sought a structural solution to address an existing vertical drywall crack at the junction of the original residence and a newly constructed addition, along with concerns regarding foundation stability and potential structural movement.

Bitarchitects worked in coordination with the structural engineer to develop comprehensive construction drawings for the proposed underpinning work and associated structural improvements. Our scope included detailing foundation stabilization measures, structural reinforcement, and connections between the existing home and the new addition, helping address the identified concerns and support the long-term stability and performance of the structure.
