Local context

What changes from place to place.

The standard of the work stays the same. The offices, the review boards and the ground under the house do not.

  1. Who reviews the plans

    Each county runs its own permitting, and the independent cities of Fairfax, Manassas and Alexandria run their own. Knowing which office a lot answers to is where planning starts.

  2. Historic districts

    Old Town Alexandria, Leesburg, Middleburg and Warrenton have historic districts, which add architectural review. We plan for it from the first conversation.

  3. Planned communities

    Brambleton, Willowsford, Dominion Valley, South Riding and Piedmont are master-planned communities with their own design review boards.

  4. The ground under the house

    Soils vary across the region, from clay in eastern Loudoun and Fairfax to Piedmont soils further west. That is why we design foundations for the site instead of copying the last one.

  5. Streams and the Bay Act

    In Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William counties and the cities of Alexandria and Fairfax, the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act sets Resource Protection Areas along perennial streams. Loudoun, Fauquier and the City of Manassas sit outside it.

Wherever you build

The same six steps in every county.

The local reviews change. The order of the work does not.

Where the place matters

Permits and approvals are the one step that changes with the address. Depending on where your lot is, it can involve:

  • The county, or an independent city, for permits
  • Architectural review in a historic district
  • A community design review board
  • Resource Protection Areas along streams, where the Bay Act applies
