The Addition Process

How iDEAL Manages Your Home Addition

Home additions are complex projects. Here’s exactly how we keep yours on track, on budget, and built right from first call to final inspection.

Free On-Site Consultation

We assess your property, discuss your vision, and identify structural and zoning considerations up front — including setback requirements, HOA rules, and load-bearing considerations. No charge, no obligation.

Design Coordination & Scoping

We work with your designer or coordinate with a draftsperson to produce plans that meet Florida Building Code and match your existing home. You receive a fully itemized estimate with material options before anything is signed.

Permitting

We pull all permits through Manatee, Sarasota, or Hillsborough County. Permit timelines are built into your project schedule so there are no surprises. All permit costs are included in your estimate.

Foundation & Framing

We pour the foundation, frame the addition, and tie the structure into your existing home — all inspected at each phase by the county. We don’t skip inspection phases to go faster.

Systems & Finishes

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, and all finish work is completed to match your existing home as closely as possible. We communicate daily so you’re never guessing on status.

Final Inspection & Walkthrough

County final inspection is completed, then we walk through every inch of the finished addition together before we close out the project. You get the permit close-out documentation for your records.
