HOMEOWNER & RESIDENTIAL BUILDER PLANS
From a backyard structure to a new house, get a defined drawing scope for your residential building permit project.
What Is This Service?
Residential permit plans are site and construction drawings prepared to communicate proposed work for review under the applicable residential or building requirements. The documents differ by project size, structure, location and department.
Who Is This Service For?
Common Project Challenges
The permit application does not make clear which plans are required.
Existing and proposed areas are not distinguished on drawings.
Site, architectural, structural and trade plans are missing or inconsistent.
Included Scope
The exact scope is tailored to your project and confirmed in your written quotation. Depending on the requirements, the work may include:
Permit Review Context
Residential permit plans should match the exact project rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist. An accessory structure may need only a few sheets, while an addition, ADU or new home can require site, architectural, structural and MEP information.
We use these topics to frame the drawing scope, but the final submittal requirements are set by the city, county or other reviewing authority for the project address.
From Intake to Deliverables
Send the address, proposed scope, available files and reviewer comments.
We identify missing information and agree on the proposed scope, deliverables and quotation.
The contracted documentation is prepared using the inputs and relevant project requirements.
You check the drawings; agreed corrections and final deliverables follow the written scope.
