Oftentimes, municipalities like Upper Saucon Township, Pennsylvania will NOT accept building permit applications unless you include five (5) crucial pieces of information. If any pieces of your application are missing or incorrect you will have your application rejected and then you’re back to the drawing board.
Additionally, there are many other permits and/or approvals that could be required in addition to a Building Permit in Upper Saucon Township. This is why it’s important to work with a partner who can help you navigate communicating with your township, municipality, HOA (if applicable), develop your plans, obtain all permits, manage any and all engineering, schedule your inspections, and take all the hassle out of your project.
Here are some tips on how to apply for building permits in Upper Saucon Township:
Visualization is the first step in creating the outdoor living space you have always wanted, but oftentimes homeowners get stuck with the same boring deck or patio designs in the Lehigh Valley. This is because most patio and deck contractors in the Lehigh Valley lack the tools and vision that help show homeowners and municipalities exactly how their new space could look.
Our personalized approach ensures that we know and understand exactly how you and your family want to use your new space. From our first conversation, we will begin to ask questions that help us learn more about you, your home, and your family to ensure we are a good fit for your outdoor living goals! Our experience working within various municipalities and HOAs allows us to navigate their parameters and design a space that meets their specific requirements and standards.

There are many ways a plan can be presented to a township, municipality, or HOA. Some patio or deck contractors in Center Valley, Pennsylvania will use sketched-out paper plans. The problem is, many of these standard plans do not allow the homeowners, townships, or HOA’s to visualize exactly what the new space will look like. This could result in money and time wasted applying for permits and approvals.
Our custom, virtual, 3D design process allows you to see exactly how your new space will look and feel how it will affect the surrounding areas. The images are easily translated into language the township can fully grasp and take into consideration. This elaborates on the project at hand for easy review and approvals.

Oftentimes, patio and deck contractors in the Lehigh Valley don’t think long-term for long-term goals. This leaves homeowners confined to limited design ideas and an inability to see ‘the big picture’ that could be built over time and without overextending the homeowner financially all at once.
MasterPLAN’s unique ability to combine the design and build process allows our team to layout your entire project into one comprehensive plan that can be built all at once or phased over time as needed! We will talk about and define the important features that should be included for each phase so that you never miss out on an opportunity to enjoy your new space-no matter what phase of the build you are in!
