What Is This Service?

Structural Plans, explained clearly

Structural plans identify load-carrying elements and their arrangements, including foundations, posts, beams, framing, anchorage and connections. Actual engineering design and sealed deliverables require the responsible qualified professional where applicable.

Who Is This Service For?

  • Builders constructing decks, patio covers, additions or new buildings
  • Owners whose permit reviewer requested connection or footing details
  • Designers needing drawings coordinated with engineering calculations

Common Project Challenges

Common Problems We Help Solve

01

The plans show a roof or beam but not how it is supported.

02

Footing depth, size or reinforcement is not sufficiently documented.

03

The city requests wind, uplift, lateral or seismic connection details.

Included Scope

What Can Be Included?

The exact scope is tailored to your project and confirmed in your written quotation. Depending on the requirements, the work may include:

  • Foundation and footing plans and typical details
  • Floor, wall or roof framing arrangements
  • Beams, headers, posts and bearing/load-path details
  • Bracing, anchors, hold-downs and connections where applicable
  • Applicable structural notes, schedules and design criteria
  • References to calculations and professional review where required

Permit Review Context

What matters when scoping Structural Plans

Structural plans describe the load-resisting parts of a project such as foundations, framing, beams, headers, walls and connections. The exact engineering scope depends on the structure, materials, loads, existing conditions and local requirements.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Structural Plans

Does a structural plan always need calculations?

Not always, but some jurisdictions or designs require calculations to support member sizing, anchorage or loading.

Can you stamp plans from another drafter?

A licensed professional may review externally prepared plans and decide whether sufficient evaluation, revisions or new design work are required.

Can you specify foundation details?

Yes, as part of a defined structural scope supported by the necessary design inputs and professional review where applicable.

Do you design for wind and seismic loads?

Such analysis is included only where scoped and performed or accepted by the appropriate qualified professional.

How do I know exactly which drawings my permit office requires?

Send the property address and a short description of the proposed work. We use the jurisdiction and project type to define the likely drawing scope before drafting begins. Final submittal requirements remain subject to the reviewing authority.

Can I send an existing survey, sketch, photos or permit comments?

Yes. Existing surveys, recorded plats, sketches, photos, prior plans and correction comments can all help establish the drawing scope and reduce avoidable assumptions.

Do you work with projects nationwide?

Yes. Make A Site Plan supports projects across the United States. Because permit procedures vary by city and county, we check the project location before finalizing the scope.

Can you guarantee that the permit will be approved without comments?

No. Approval is controlled by the reviewing jurisdiction. Our process is designed to make the drawings clear, coordinated and responsive to the known submittal requirements, and we support in-scope permit comments when they occur.
