RGFA (Residential Gross Floor Area) is the specific metric Weston uses to limit house size, whereas TLAG is used in Wellesley. In Weston, new builds are generally capped at 6,000 sq. ft. of RGFA by right. Exceeding this requires a Special Permit from the Planning Board.

Since Weston is primarily on private septic, adding bedrooms or significantly increasing living space often triggers a Title V requirement. We coordinate soil testing to determine if your current system can support your renovation goals.

If your home is on a designated Scenic Road (like Concord Road or Glen Road), you cannot tear down stone walls or cut down public trees without a hearing. We help design driveways and site access to comply with these preservation rules.

Yes, but if the house was built before 1945, it is subject to the Demolition Delay Bylaw. The Historical Commission determines if the building is "preferably preserved." If so, a delay of up to 12 months may apply unless a compromise is reached.

Yes. We have experience working with the unique post-and-beam construction found in neighborhoods like Peacock Farm, upgrading them for energy efficiency while maintaining their architectural lines.

Weston has strict regulations regarding wetland buffer zones. We evaluate these regulatory boundaries and manage all necessary filings with the Weston Conservation Commission to ensure your project proceeds without delays.

Weston’s zoning bylaws are explicitly designed to maintain a rural aesthetic. This influences setbacks, screening, and driveway placement. Our designs prioritize privacy and natural landscape integration to align with this town philosophy.
