Have construction drawings that need a PE stamp?

Most requests start in one of three places. Each one has a clear next step.

01

Your drawings are already prepared

Send the PDF set. We identify which sheets need engineering review and which discipline is involved.

02

Your contractor finished the design

We check whether the drawings can be reviewed as they are, or need revisions under the engineer's supervision.

03

The city asked for a PE seal

Upload the correction notice. The written comment tells us exactly what the reviewer wants sealed.

Make A Site Plan helps coordinate the professional engineering review, technical revisions and signing and sealing of eligible engineering documents. We work with a coordinating network of engineering professionals and match each project by state, discipline, complexity and permit requirement. We organize the documents, communicate review questions, coordinate corrections and arrange final engineering documentation once the responsible licensed professional accepts it.

Upload My Drawings

Engineering review is not just a stamp. It is professional responsibility.

A Professional Engineer's signature and seal identifies engineering work for which that professional accepts responsibility under the applicable licensing and practice rules.

The work may involve structural loads, member sizing, support conditions, foundations, connections, civil design or equipment systems. A legitimate review can mean more than checking the title block of an existing drawing.

  • The engineer may request more information or revised details
  • Supporting calculations or construction changes may be needed
  • Some work must be redeveloped under the engineer's supervision before it can be issued

Rather than promising an instant stamp, we provide a structured process toward engineering documents that can be professionally accepted and submitted in the required format.

Structural engineering review and seal coordination

Structural review is our most common request. It can involve evaluating the structural system, identifying calculations, addressing connections and support conditions, and coordinating the final engineering drawings.

  • Load-bearing wall removal
  • Replacement beams and headers
  • New structural openings
  • Residential and second-story additions
  • Decks and elevated platforms
  • Patio covers and covered porches
  • Pergolas and carports
  • Detached garages
  • Roof framing alterations
  • Structural repairs
  • Metal buildings and pole barns
  • Retaining structures and specialty connections

Depending on the project, the engineer may evaluate member strength, deflection, bearing, load paths, wind uplift, lateral resistance, anchorage or foundation support.

02

Foundation, footing and slab engineering review

A structural support must transfer loads into the ground through the right system. If a new post bears on an existing slab, the engineer may need to confirm that slab can carry it. A general drawing note should not replace that verification.

  • Concrete spread footings
  • Post and column foundations
  • Slab-on-grade structural support
  • Pier foundations
  • Foundation modifications
  • Beam and post bearing
  • Uplift anchors
  • Equipment foundations
  • Metal-building foundation connections
  • Existing foundation evaluation

Civil engineering and site development review

Some permits need professional engineering documents for site work. Not every ordinary site plan needs a PE stamp. A zoning or layout site plan and a regulated civil design can have different professional requirements, and we help identify which one your project needs.

  • Grading plans
  • Stormwater drainage plans
  • Site drainage systems
  • Erosion and sediment control
  • Utility engineering
  • Site-development details
  • Civil engineering calculations
  • Engineered site improvements

Need a certified site plan instead? See our site plan service or ask us which one applies.

Structural calculations and engineering documentation

Some building departments ask for calculations in addition to the drawings. Calculations must agree with the plans: a beam size on the drawings should match the accepted design and its analysis.

  • Gravity loading
  • Wind and seismic design criteria
  • Snow loads, where applicable
  • Beams, joists, rafters and columns
  • Structural connections
  • Foundation bearing
  • Uplift resistance
  • Lateral-force-resisting systems

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering review

Where required and available, we coordinate qualified professionals for MEP engineering. These services are assigned by professional qualification and legal authority. A structural seal does not automatically cover other disciplines.

  • Mechanical: HVAC, ventilation and equipment documentation
  • Electrical: distribution, service changes and load calculations
  • Plumbing: water, drainage and equipment documentation

Drawings only? See MEP plans.

  • Commercial tenant improvements
  • Structural building alterations
  • New mezzanines
  • Equipment platforms
  • Commercial foundations
  • Industrial and metal buildings
  • Structural repair work
  • Specialty framing or connection designs

Which engineering stamps and signatures can be coordinated?

Clients use "PE stamp" for several different services. Knowing the difference helps you order the right one.

By engineering discipline

Structural engineer's seal

Covers the structural documents the licensed professional accepts and issues: plans, connection details, calculations or defined parts of a larger package.

Civil engineer's seal

Applies to engineering work the responsible civil engineer accepts, such as regulated site development, grading, drainage or utility documents.

MEP engineering seals

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing documents may need review and sealing by separately qualified and licensed professionals.

By signing format and situation

Physical or wet-ink seal

Some submissions need original paper documents with a physical signature and seal. Signing, sealing and dating rules vary.

Digital signature and PE seal

A digitally signed PDF authenticates the signer and lets the reviewer verify the document. A pasted seal image is not the same thing.

Electronic signing and sealing

Some states recognize electronic authentication methods that differ from a standard digital certificate. The method must meet state and agency rules.

Revised and re-sealed documents

When sealed documents change, the responsible professional reviews the revision and issues updated sealed documents. A previous seal cannot be copied onto altered plans.

Third-party engineering review

Independent review or verification is separate from the original designer's seal and must meet the applicable independence and qualification rules.

Why choose Make A Site Plan?

National project intake. State-specific professional coordination.

Engineer reviewing a plan set with a magnifier
  1. 01

    A coordinated community of engineering professionals

    A Florida patio cover may involve wind uplift. A Texas retaining wall may involve soil pressure and drainage. A Georgia or Ohio structural opening may involve existing framing and beam sizing. We confirm the state, discipline and actual work before confirming the service.

  2. 02

    One organized point of communication

    Many clients find out about engineering review after working with a contractor or designer. We keep the documents, clarifications, revisions and deliverables in one thread between you, the drafting team and the reviewing professionals.

  3. 03

    Clear, timely project updates

    Permit delays affect schedules. We explain information requests clearly, send status updates and flag anything that needs your action. We do not disappear after receiving your drawings.

  4. 04

    Revision support after permit submission

    If the reviewer asks for more details, revised calculations or engineering changes, we coordinate the response. In-scope revisions follow the proposal terms. New design work is quoted separately.

  5. 05

    Appropriate professional review

    An engineer's seal is never a substitute for real professional responsibility. The responsible engineer keeps authority over technical decisions, acceptance and document issue.

Already submitted your plans? Revisions and re-sealing coordination.

You may already have a sealed set when the building department sends new comments. You do not always need to restart the design.

A reviewer may ask for

  • A revised structural connection
  • Additional footing information
  • A beam calculation
  • A foundation detail
  • Clarification of the load path
  • A revised roof-uplift detail
  • Updated material specifications
  • A new structural note
  • An engineering response letter
  • Revised digitally signed documents

What revision support is included?

Reasonable permit correction help within the original written scope, including clarifications or revisions tied to the accepted deliverables.

New designs, significant scope changes, extra disciplines, additional calculations or substantial structural changes may need a separate quote.

Ongoing project coordination, not an open-ended promise of unlimited redesign.

How re-sealing works

    You send the original plans and correction notice

    We review the documents and identify the requested changes.

  2. 2

    We establish the responsible professional and scope

    Where appropriate the original engineer reviews the revisions. If another engineer must take responsibility, the applicable rules and extra work are addressed.

  3. 3

    The drawings or calculations are updated

    Changes are coordinated with the architectural, structural or other related sheets.

  4. 4

    The engineer evaluates the revised work

    The professional decides whether the updated documents can be accepted and issued.

  5. 5

    The accepted documents are reissued

    Revised plans receive the required new professional authentication.

  6. 6

    We help coordinate the permit response

    You receive the updated documents and the information needed to answer each comment.

Independent third-party review and private-provider services.

Some permitting authorities require services beyond the original design engineer's seal. Terms vary by jurisdiction and program.

Independent engineering peer review

An independent professional examines certain design elements or assumptions. The reviewer must meet any independence, licensure or specialty requirements.

Third-party plan verification

A separate qualified professional evaluates specified parts of a drawing package. The deliverable may be a review report or professional opinion.

Private-provider plan review

In qualifying jurisdictions, authorized private providers may perform certain code plan reviews. Registration, notices and prescribed forms may apply.

Special inspections and structural observations

Some projects need inspections or observations during construction. These are separate from preparing or sealing design drawings.

Can we coordinate these services?

Yes, for eligible projects where a qualified and authorized provider is available. Send the actual written requirement so we can see what kind of review is being requested.

An ordinary PE stamp does not automatically replace a required independent review, private-provider review or special inspection.

Send the Requirement

PE stamp review pricing: what determines the cost?

An engineering review is not priced by the number of stamps on a PDF. The cost follows the design responsibility involved.

  • Project locationState licensing and practice rules vary.
  • Project typeA single structural detail and a full engineered building are very different reviews.
  • Number of sheetsA focused package is not the same as a 30-sheet multidisciplinary set.
  • Quality of existing drawingsMissing dimensions or incomplete details add work.
  • Existing calculationsAdequate calculations help define scope. New analysis may be needed.
  • Engineering disciplineCivil, structural, mechanical and electrical may need different professionals.
  • Signature formatThe required authentication and submission method must be set.
  • City or county commentsSpecific reviewer requests may need more documents or analysis.
  • Revisions and third-party needsClarifications differ from redesign. Independent and private-provider reviews are separate scopes.

PE stamp review questions.

Can you provide a PE stamp for drawings I already have?

We can assess your existing drawings and coordinate an eligible engineering scope. The responsible professional must have the involvement, control and technical basis required under the applicable state rules before signing and sealing the work.

How much does PE stamping cost in Florida?

Qualifying Florida engineering review and seal-coordination services start at $1,200. The actual quote depends on the design, calculations, sheets and professional work required.

Do you provide digitally signed and sealed PDFs?

We coordinate accepted digital or electronic signing and sealing methods where available and appropriate. The final format must comply with the responsible professional's state regulations and the permitting authority's requirements.

Do you provide physical wet-ink seals?

Physical signing and sealing can be evaluated where the responsible professional and jurisdiction require or accept that format. Delivery method and any additional document-handling charges are confirmed in the proposal.

Can I send drawings prepared by my contractor?

Yes, for an initial assessment. Whether the work can eventually be signed and sealed depends on the responsible professional's review and applicable preparation or supervision requirements. Some drawings may need to be substantially revised or recreated.

Do you work with engineers in multiple states?

We coordinate with a community of engineering professionals and assess state-specific project requests. Actual licensure, discipline and availability are verified for the proposed professional scope.

Can you stamp an entire architectural and MEP drawing set?

Not automatically. Different sheets may involve architectural or separate engineering responsibilities. We identify which professionals and services the project requires.

Can you help when the building department asks for an engineer's stamp?

Yes. Send the written reviewer comment and the previously submitted plans so the requested technical and professional scope can be identified.

Do you provide structural calculations?

We can coordinate structural calculation services for eligible projects where they are required or appropriate. Their inclusion is established in the project proposal.

What happens if the engineer finds problems in my drawings?

We communicate the relevant technical issues and help identify the necessary drawing or design changes. The engineer decides whether the final work can be professionally accepted.

Do you provide re-stamping after city corrections?

Yes, we coordinate eligible revisions and reissue of professional engineering documents when accepted by the responsible professional.

Are revisions included after the initial delivery?

Reasonable corrections within the agreed scope may be included under the written terms. Significant redesign, additional calculations and new services may involve extra charges.

Can you provide third-party independent review?

We can assess and coordinate eligible independent review requests where appropriately qualified and authorized professionals are available. The program's independence and qualification requirements must be verified.

Is a third-party PE review the same as a private-provider inspection?

No. Independent engineering review, private-provider plan review, and special inspection are different services with different professional and regulatory requirements.

Will a PE-stamped plan guarantee permit approval?

No. The responsible authority determines whether a permit is issued. Additional review comments or documents may be required.

How quickly can I receive my sealed plans?

Timing depends on the engineering scope, available documents, necessary revisions and professional review. We provide a project-specific estimate once the requirements are understood.

Can you review a single drawing sheet?

Yes, single-sheet and limited-scope inquiries can be assessed. The professional may still need to review supporting drawings, calculations or existing conditions to accept responsibility for the work.

Can you help with a project that was previously stamped by another engineer?

We can assess the situation. Depending on the applicable rules, the original professional may need to make the revisions, or another professional may need to undertake an appropriately authorized review or new design responsibility.

What if I don't know whether I need structural or civil engineering?

Send the written permit requirement and project description. We can help identify the relevant discipline and proposed services.

Do you offer services in all 50 states?

We accept inquiries nationally. Engineering service availability is conditional on appropriate licensure, qualified professionals, applicable legal requirements and acceptance of the specific project.
