What is a full permit drawing set?+
A coordinated package of drawings, notes, details, schedules and calculations used to explain the project to the reviewing authority.
Does every full permit set include site, architectural, structural and MEP plans?+
No. Only the disciplines required for the actual project should be included.
Can you prepare residential and commercial permit sets?+
Yes. We support new construction, additions, ADUs, remodels, garages, decks, tenant improvements, change-of-use work and other project types.
What is usually included for a new house?+
A typical package may include a cover sheet, site plan, floor plans, roof plan, elevations, sections, structural plans, MEP plans, energy documents and calculations where required.
What is usually included for a home addition?+
Existing, demolition and proposed plans plus affected foundation, framing, MEP and energy/code coordination.
Do I need a property survey?+
Projects affecting the footprint, setbacks, access, parking, utilities or grading commonly require reliable property information or a survey.
Can you start from sketches and photographs?+
Yes, for many projects. Larger existing buildings may also need field-verified measurements or prior drawings.

Are structural calculations included?+
Only when listed in the agreed scope and required by the project or jurisdiction.

Can you coordinate PE or architect review?+
Yes for qualifying projects, subject to state licensure and the reviewing professional’s independent acceptance.
Do you handle permit corrections?+
Yes. Send the full comment letter and current submitted set so affected sheets can be identified.
Can you help legalize an existing unpermitted addition?+
Yes, when existing conditions can be verified and the required architectural or structural scope can be defined.
Can you coordinate a metal-building permit set?+
Yes. Site, architectural, foundation, manufacturer and MEP coordination may be required.
What is not automatically included?+
Surveys, geotechnical reports, truss engineering, product approvals, fire sprinkler design, permit fees and specialty inspections are not automatically included unless listed.
What should I send for a quote?+

Turnaround depends on size, number of disciplines, source information, structural complexity and professional review requirements.
