What Is a Site Plan for a Building Permit?
A site plan, sometimes called a plot plan, is a scaled drawing showing the property and proposed project from above. The goal is simple: give the reviewing authority a clear picture of what exists, what is proposed and where the work will be located.
- Property boundaries
- Existing structures
- Proposed construction
- Setbacks and dimensions
- Driveways, access and easements
- Lot coverage, utilities or septic

Common Questions About Site Plans & Permit Drawings
Quick answers to the questions we receive most often before a project starts.
Talk to the project team about your property and permit.
What is a site plan for a permit?
A scaled overhead drawing showing the property, existing improvements, proposed construction, setbacks, dimensions and other information needed for permit or zoning review.
Can you prepare a site plan without a new survey?
Often, yes, depending on the project and jurisdiction. Existing surveys, recorded plats, GIS information and other reliable records may be sufficient for some projects.
Do I need a site visit?
Not for most projects. Many site plans and permit drawing packages can be prepared remotely using surveys, property information, photos, existing plans, sketches and client-provided measurements.
How quickly can you prepare drawings?
Turnaround depends on the project scope and available information. Standard site-plan work is usually faster than complete residential, commercial or engineered permit packages.
Do you work nationwide?
Yes. We support residential and commercial projects throughout the United States and review requirements based on the actual project jurisdiction.
What happens if the city requests revisions?
Send us the complete reviewer comment set. We can evaluate the comments and revise applicable drawings based on the agreed project scope.
When is PE review required?
Engineering requirements vary by state, jurisdiction, project type and discipline. Structural, non-prescriptive, civil, commercial or reviewer-requested work may require licensed professional review.
What files should I send?
Send the project address, survey if available, sketches, photos, existing drawings, manufacturer information and any permit comments already received.
