Miami conditions
Building additions for Miami conditions
An addition in Miami only reads as original when the new foundation, rooflines, and finishes are matched to the existing house, which is where most amateur additions give themselves away. The new structure has to meet local wind-load requirements, so connections and uplift detailing are engineered for the storm zone.
