Construction & Remodeling in Bellevue, WA

Bellevue work can include remodels of wood-framed houses, seismic retrofits, additions and new houses. The Seattle fault lies beneath the city, and Bellevue offers a streamlined permit path for retrofitting older wood-framed homes.

What shapes a project in Bellevue

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. Earthquake Home Retrofit Program

    The Washington Geological Survey lists Bellevue among the urban areas above the Seattle fault. The city's Earthquake Home Retrofit Program lets owners of older wood-framed houses retrofit with a standard plan set instead of hiring an engineer or architect. Owners apply for a residential remodel permit, and the plan reviewer decides whether the house qualifies.

  2. Remodel permit types

    Bellevue separates remodels with structural work, including roof sheathing replacement, from non-structural remodels. New houses and additions over 3,000 gross square feet use one permit type, and smaller additions or decks use another.
