- Architect and structural engineer management from concept on
- Foundation, framing, envelope and full interior fit-out

What you can
actually build
on a Bayport lot.
On a new build the buildable envelope is decided before the architect starts: by town of Islip Building Division, by the flood map, and by whatever Bayport specifically restricts. We establish all three in week one.
- Who approves a new build
- Town of Islip Building Division
Unincorporated Town of Islip. Bay-front parcels add flood and environmental review.
- What the flood map dictates
The southern, bay-facing streets are mapped. Inland is clear.
- What limits the envelope
A number of the older bay houses were built as summer cottages and later winterised badly. Insulation, foundations and heating in those are usually worse than they look.

questions,
answered.
Can you build a new house in Bayport?
Yes, ground up. Waterfront new construction to flood elevation, with the view and the wind exposure both designed for.
Will a Bayport new build need a raised or flood-compliant foundation?
The southern, bay-facing streets are mapped. Inland is clear. If the parcel is mapped, the base flood elevation sets your first floor height and the entire design follows from that, not the other way round.
What limits how big I can build in Bayport?
A number of the older bay houses were built as summer cottages and later winterised badly. Insulation, foundations and heating in those are usually worse than they look. Lot coverage, setbacks and whatever town of Islip Building Division enforces locally usually cap the house well before the budget does. We calculate the real buildable envelope before an architect starts drawing.
Who handles drawings and approvals?
We do. We bring in the architect and structural engineer, coordinate the survey and sanitary design, file with Town of Islip Building Division, and carry the application through plan review and any variance it needs.
How long does a custom home take?
Typically ten to fourteen months on site once permits are in hand, plus the approval period, which in Bayport depends heavily on town of Islip Building Division and the complexity of the site. We give you a real schedule, not an optimistic one.
