From Concept to Permit in Six Steps
We handle the complexity so you don't have to. Here's how a typical residential project moves from idea to approved plans.
Site Analysis & Due Diligence
Every great project starts with a solid foundation. We begin by analyzing your site and gathering all relevant information. If your project involves modifying an existing structure, we'll also complete a 3D scan to produce accurate As-Built Plans.
Design Kick-Off
Next comes the design kick-off meeting, where we dive into your vision, layout needs, and design preferences. It's the perfect moment to get aligned, explore ideas, and map out a smart, streamlined plan for moving forward.
Concept Design Development
Our design team gets to work on your Concept Design. This phase is collaborative and iterative — we'll share progress with you along the way, and your feedback on each version helps us fine-tune the design until it's just right.
Permitting Set of Plans
Once the Concept Design is approved, our team coordinates the development of the full Permitting Set of plans — including structural engineering, energy compliance, and all required documentation.
Plan Review & Permitting
With the Construction Documents ready, we submit your plans for city review. Our experienced project managers and permit expediters keep things moving and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Construction Support
Getting a permit isn't the finish line — it's just the beginning. As your designer and engineer of record, we stay involved throughout construction, supporting your contractor with any questions about the plans.
