How the Permit Process Works
 

Every city and county has different requirements, but most projects follow a similar process.
 

1. Preliminary Design & Layout

We begin with the project scope, dimensions, sketches, photos, and overall design direction.
 

2. Jurisdiction & Permit Requirement Review

We review the city or county permit requirements, zoning limitations, and submission checklists whenever available.
 

3. Permit Drawing Preparation

The full construction drawing set is prepared for submission.

Depending on the project, this may include architectural layouts, elevations, construction details, framing information, and code notes.
 

4. Plan Check Corrections & Revisions

After submission, the city may request revisions during plan review.

We assist with updating the drawings based on those comments.

Code & Compliance
 

Most projects are prepared based on versions of:
 

• IRC (International Residential Code)

• IBC (International Building Code)

• IECC Energy Code

• Local Municipal Amendments
   

Requirements can vary significantly depending on:
 

• Project Type

• Wind Exposure

• Snow Loads

• Seismic Conditions

• Fire Zones

• Local Jurisdiction Requirements
   

For projects requiring engineering calculations or stamped drawings, we can also coordinate with structural engineers when necessary.

Permit Requirements Vary by Location
 

Building permit requirements can vary significantly between states, counties, and cities.
 

Some jurisdictions may require:
 

• Energy Calculations

• Structural Engineering

• Truss Calculations

• Site-Specific Details

• Additional Zoning Review

• Special Inspections
   

We provide drafting services nationwide and adapt each drawing set based on the local permit process and project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

Do you submit the permit application?

In most cases, the property owner or contractor submits the permit application directly to the city or county.

We prepare the drawing package and assist with revisions during review if requested.
 

Do all projects require engineering?

No. Some projects can follow prescriptive code requirements, while others may require structural calculations or stamped engineering depending on the jurisdiction and scope.
 

Can you work from hand sketches or existing plans?

Yes. We can work from sketches, PDFs, photos, existing drawings, or conceptual layouts.
 

Do you provide structural calculations?

We primarily provide drafting and permit drawings. Structural engineering and stamped calculations can be coordinated separately when required.
