Hillside and snow-load savvy

Additions in SunCrest and other bench neighborhoods demand the right roof geometry, egress, and load path—especially with elevated ground snow loads. We coordinate early with engineering and geotech where needed.

Exceptional Craftsmanship Icon

Clean, respectful build

Meticulous protection, tidy jobsite, weekly updates, and documented changes. You’ll always know what’s next.

The Concierge Construction Method

1. Discovery

We start with a conversation and site visit to understand goals, constraints, and neighborhood context (SunCrest, Draper Heights, South Mountain, Corner Canyon, and more).

2. Paid Design Agreement

We develop concepts that fit your home and lot, align finishes and allowances, and consult engineering as needed for hillside conditions or second-story loads. You’ll receive a preliminary budget range and schedule anchored to actual scopes—not guesses.

3. Permit & Pre-Build

We finalize your construction drawings and assemble Draper’s permit package: Fully dimensioned plans/sections, window/door schedules, egress notes, energy compliance (REScheck + Manual J & D), and any framing/MEP details required. For hillside or mapped study areas, we coordinate the required geotechnical report acceptance and any geological hazard disclosures before issuance. Submission happens through Draper’s Online Services Portal; our team tracks plan-check comments and inspection scheduling.

4. Build & Closeout

Your superintendent provides weekly budget-to-actual snapshots and milestone updates. Change orders are presented in writing with cost/time impact before work proceeds. We finish with a detailed quality walk, documentation, and care guidelines.

What We Build (and how we build it)

Great rooms & kitchen expansions
Open up walls with engineered beams, tie new foundations into existing, and match exterior elevations and rooflines—so the addition “belongs.”

Primary suites & bathrooms
From spa-level baths to organized closets, we integrate modern ventilation/insulation for comfort and efficiency.

Second-story additions
We study load paths, stair placement, and elevations to maintain curb appeal and structural integrity—crucial on sloped lots.

Garages & mudroom links
Heated slabs, storage systems, and weather-smart entries that make winter living easier.

ADUs (Internal & Detached)
We’ll advise on the right path: I-ADU (within your existing footprint—often a basement conversion) or D-ADU (separate structure, typically in the rear yard). Draper requires an ADU permit; we’ll prepare the submittal and coordinate inspections.

Built for Draper: Neighborhoods, Climate & Codes

Benches & elevation: SunCrest and higher benches see heavier winter snow; roof loading, drainage, and ice-dam prevention are engineered into the design.

Geotechnical & hillside: Where slopes exceed thresholds or mapped hazards exist, Draper may require a geotechnical report (slope stability, retaining wall design) and acceptance before a building permit can be issued. We plan for it early to avoid delays.

Permitting cadence: Draper’s Building Division operates via an online portal. Plan sets must be unlocked PDFs, and complete drawing packages include site plan, fully dimensioned floor plans, sections, window/door specs, egress, energy compliance (REScheck + Manual J & D), and framing details. We handle submittal, comments, and inspection coordination.

What It’s Like to Work with CM Pros​

"David Thorne gave us a bid to install a full kitchen and upgrade a basement workspace. He has been amazing throughout the entire process. He pays attention to detail, is organized, communicative, listens to customer “wants”, is punctual and uses fabulous software to keep things on schedule and project related documents all in one place. His years of experience paid off for us in many ways but the most impactful was finding extensive damage resulting from an active termite colony that we were not aware of in a different area of our home. We, and many other professionals, brushed this off “sugar ant dirt piles” in the garage along the wall-floor junction but he was insistent that we had termites.

David was correct. Not only did he diagnose the problem but did an amazing job repairing the extensive damage, including a main support post, that wasn’t part of the original project. While most people are waiting months for appliances, sub-contractors, etc. in this horrible supply chain climate he used his network to find everything, and everyone, we needed to get the project done in record time. He took care of literally everything throughout the process. His sub-contractors love working with him and they actually show up 😊 We are enjoying our new beautiful space already with only a few small details to finish up. We’ll be sad to see him go. Not only is he an amazing contractor but really does care about his customers and takes great pride in the quality of work performed. David is a great person all the way around. We’ll hire him again for future projects and highly recommend him. Happy CMP Customer in Sandy, Utah"

"David was great to work with. He was quick to respond to questions and if there was a concern he came right over and addressed the issue.

We made a couple of changes and added on couple of projects and he adjusted as needed for us. He also had a couple of creative suggestions for us which we appreciated. The crews and sub contractors were professional and dependable and I felt good and did not worry about having them in my home.

Just like others during this time there were supply chain issues and Dave dealt with these issues professionally and communicated with us. Dave is honest, and the work was done the way we expect, I’m picky, and it turned out beautiful.

I would work with Dave again and highly recommend him."

"We had hired David to finish up a kitchenette/wet bar area in our basement and transform an unfinished storage room to a gym room and we are happy with the results.

David communicated well throughout the process so that there were no surprises and made himself available to answer any questions or concerns we may have had.

Also, despite the craziness in construction these days with regards to worker and material availability, he was able to get all of the work done as planned (we had a strict deadline).

Overall, after vetting a few contractors out there, we are glad we decided to choose David for our project!"

FAQs: Draper Home Additions

Do I need a permit for my addition?

Yes. Draper requires permits for residential additions; applications and inspections are managed through the city’s online portal. We submit and track everything on your behalf.

Unlocked PDF plans with a dimensioned site plan, floor/roof plans, cross-sections, window/door schedules, egress details, energy compliance (REScheck + Manual J & D), and structural/framing details. We prepare the full package.

At higher elevations, ground snow loads and winter conditions influence structural and envelope design. We coordinate roof geometry, insulation/ventilation, and drainage accordingly.

Yes. Draper allows internal (I-ADU) and detached (D-ADU) ADUs with a permit. We’ll guide you through the right path and handle submittals.

Where slopes or mapped geologic hazards apply, the city requires geotechnical review/acceptance (sometimes with recorded disclosures) before issuing permits. We’ll identify this early and build it into the plan.

Interest typically surges in spring and fall; starting design in winter can position you well for a spring permit/groundbreak. We’ll outline the timeline that fits your goals.
