Chelsea packs a working industrial waterfront and one of the densest residential neighborhoods in the state into two square miles.
Our work here runs from equipment support and mezzanines in produce and distribution buildings to structural repair in three-family houses that have been carrying more than they were built for.
Permitting and access
Chelsea requires stamped structural drawings and inspections for load path changes. Much of the city sits in a flood zone, which affects footing and column base details for basement structural work, and any substantial improvement can trigger additional floodplain requirements. That is worth confirming with the building department early, because it changes the design and not just the paperwork.
Typical local scopes
