Historic Preservation - Many neighborhoods fall under historic review and require additional inspections, permits, and costs to meet historic standards.
Floodplain Regulations - The low elevation, high water table, rising sea levels, and the rules and regulations that are involved are all factors to be considered in Alexandria.
Small Site Constraints - Many neighborhoods consist of narrow urban lots which limit construction access. In addition, there are many shared systems and mature trees which are protected.
Environmental Compliance - Stormwater management plans, tree canopy preservation, and green infrastructure such as rain gardens, cisterns, or permeable pavers are now commonplace.
Complex Permitting and Design Review - Permits must go through the City of Alexandria Department of Code Administration and, if applicable, the BAR.
High Costs - Design, construction, and labor costs are all increased due to high demand and rising inflation.
The engineers at Building Reserves understand the unique challenges of property maintenance in Alexandria, from historic preservation and complex regulations to environmental compliance and rising costs. With deep local Alexandria expertise, our team helps property owners plan for long-term costs and avoid unexpected repairs through strategic, data-driven maintenance solutions.
