Commercial additions give a growing business more room at the address it already has. At K & Y Builders, we build additions for warehouses, offices, shops and retail buildings around Charlotte. We tie the new structure into the old one and plan the work around your daily operations. Residential work is not something we take on.
As a commercial general contractor in the Charlotte area, we work from our office in Indian Trail. Our in-house crews and company-owned equipment handle the site work and the framing. We also build for our own portfolio, so we build your addition as if we will own it. Call or text (704) 286-6210, and we will look at the building and put the quote in writing.
Tell us about the remodel, upfit, addition or new building and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
An addition makes sense when the business wants to stay at its address and the lot has room. The new space sits right next to the work you already do there. When the lot has no room left, a new building on another site can work better. That is ground-up construction, and we build new buildings from the dirt up too.
Zoning decides how close an addition can sit to the property lines. The local zoning office answers that question for your lot. More roof and pavement can also bring stormwater rules into play. In Matthews, those rules apply once a commercial site disturbs an acre or adds 20,000 square feet of built-upon area.
We look at these limits before the design starts, as part of preconstruction. The answers shape the size of the addition and where it goes on the lot.
North Carolina's existing building code treats an addition as new construction. The old building can generally stay as it is, except where the addition affects it. The addition also cannot leave the old building short on exits or structural strength.
An addition can stand on its own frame beside the old wall, or it can tie into the old frame. The code treats the two differently, so the engineer settles that early. Some additions put new weight or wind load on the old structure. In most cases, those old parts then have to meet the building code too.
The new space follows the energy code for new construction. Federal ADA standards and the state code also hold it to the same access rules as a new building. Remodel work inside the old building follows the code's rules for alterations. That part of the job is commercial remodeling.
In Charlotte and the rest of Mecklenburg County, Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement reviews commercial plans and issues the permits. Its small commercial review takes small jobs, such as additions of 400 square feet or less to an office building. Larger additions go through the county's scheduled commercial plan review. The owner's design team can also ask for a preliminary meeting with the county's plans examiners about code questions.
In Indian Trail and Stallings, the town handles the zoning approval. Union County Building Code Enforcement reviews the building plans and issues the building permit. Both reviews are built into the schedule from the start.
Under state law, site work that disturbs more than an acre needs an approved erosion control plan first. Before any digging, the law also calls for notice to NC 811 at least three full working days ahead. NC 811 gets the public lines marked, and private lines on the lot need a private locator. On our jobs, the lines get marked before the machines dig.

(704) 286-6210From the first call or text to the finished work, here is how it goes.
Call or text (704) 286-6210 and tell us about the building or the lot. Send plans or photos if you have them.
We meet you at the building or the site and go over the scope. In an occupied building, we also plan how your business keeps running.
We work out the budget and the schedule, with time for plan review built in. Then the quote comes to you in writing.
Our crews do the work, and we keep you posted on the schedule as it moves. On a new site, public utility lines get marked through NC 811 before we dig.
The last inspections and a final walk-through with you close out the job. Once the inspection department issues its certificate of compliance, the building or space is ready for business.
