Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get plans completed?

Every project is different, but most residential plans are completed within a few weeks depending on scope and complexity. We focus on getting things done efficiently while allowing time upfront to reduce revisions later.

How long does the permit approval process take?

Permit timelines vary by city and project type. Some approvals can take a few weeks, while others may take longer depending on the building department. We design plans with local requirements in mind to help avoid delays and resubmissions.

Do you handle permit submission?

We prepare your plans to meet city requirements and guide you through the submission process. If needed, we can coordinate with you or your contractor to ensure everything is submitted correctly.

What information do I need to get started?

To begin, we typically need:

  • Property address
  • Project scope
  • Any existing plans (if available)

From there, we guide you through the rest step-by-step so nothing gets missed.

Do you work with homeowners or contractors?

Both. We regularly work with homeowners, builders, and contractors. Whether you're starting from scratch or already in progress, we can step in and help move your project forward.

Can you help if my plans were started elsewhere?

Yes. We often step into projects that need revisions or adjustments for approval. If your plans were rejected or incomplete, we can review them and help get things back on track.

How many revisions are included?

We work closely with you throughout the process and refine plans as needed to meet requirements. Our goal is to get your project approved, not just deliver drawings.

How do you ensure plans get approved?

We take time upfront to understand local requirements and design accordingly. This reduces back-and-forth with the city and helps streamline the approval process.

Do I need a contractor before starting?

Not necessarily. Many clients come to us first for plans, then use those plans to hire a contractor. We can coordinate with your contractor once you have one.
