Home Additions, ADUs & Custom Builds in Haverhill, MA

Project timelines vary based on size, complexity, and scope. During your consultation, we'll provide a realistic timeline specific to your project. This includes time for permitting through the Haverhill Building Department, which typically takes 2-4 weeks. We provide detailed schedules during the planning phase and update you daily throughout construction with our photo documentation system.

Most construction projects in Haverhill require a building permit from the Haverhill Building Department. Depending on your project scope, you may also need electrical, plumbing, and gas permits. Projects near wetlands or in historic districts may require additional review. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our comprehensive project management service.

Most likely, if the lot is zoned for single-family homes. Since February 2025, Massachusetts law allows one accessory dwelling unit of up to 900 square feet, or half the floor area of the main house if that is smaller, by right in single-family zoning districts, so a special permit is not required. Haverhill can still apply reasonable rules on setbacks, dimensions and site plan review. Under the state rules, the city cannot require parking for an ADU within half a mile of a commuter rail or bus station, which covers parts of Haverhill near the Haverhill and Bradford stations. We start every ADU project with a feasibility check of the lot, septic or sewer, and utilities.
