We Understand Local Norfolk Conditions & Costs

Rising Sea Levels and Flood Risk - The low elevation, high water table, and rising sea levels are all factors to be considered in Norfolk.

Hurricane-Resistant Construction - Structures must withstand high winds and violent storms.

Challenging Soils - Sandy, silty, and marshy soils have a poor load bearing capacity and require unique structural techniques.

Stormwater Compliance - Norfolk adheres to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act which places limits on impervious surfaces, maintains tree saving requirements, and aims to retain stormwater.

Strict Permitting - Historic districts, floodplain construction, and zoning variances each come with there own set of permits that increase the timing and cost of projects.

High Costs - Design, construction, and labor costs are all increased due to high demand and rising inflation.
