Questions before you start
Straight answers about site plans and permit drawings
What type of site plan do I need for my permit?
The right plan depends on the project and reviewing authority. A small fence or shed may need a basic property plan, while a pool, deck, addition, ADU, commercial improvement or structural project may require more detailed site information and additional construction drawings. Send the checklist or project details and we will recommend a starting scope.
Is a site plan the same as a boundary survey?
No. A drafted site plan illustrates the property and proposed work using the agreed records and information. A boundary survey is a field-verified professional service prepared and certified by a licensed surveyor. If the jurisdiction requests a certified survey, that professional service is a separate requirement.
Do I need an existing survey before you can start?
An existing survey is valuable and may be required for boundary-sensitive or complex work. Some standard projects can begin with public parcel information, a recorded plat, client measurements, sketches and photos. We confirm the required inputs during the scope review.
What information should I send for a quote?
Send the property address, project type, proposed dimensions and location, city or county requirements, target submission date and any survey, plat, sketch, photos, existing plans, product documents or reviewer comments you have.
How quickly can my drawings be prepared?
Standard site-plan delivery is typically 24–48 hours after the scope is confirmed and complete information is received. Rush options may be available for eligible projects. Full permit sets, commercial work, engineering coordination and complex revisions require additional time.
What happens if the city requests drawing changes?
Send the written reviewer comments and the most recent submitted drawings. We will separate drawing items from survey, engineering, owner or contractor items and confirm which updates fit the original written scope. New design requests, added sheets or newly identified professional requirements may need a revised scope.
When might a professional engineer be required?
The reviewing authority and applicable law determine when signed and sealed documents are required. Structural, civil, drainage, grading, commercial, high-wind, flood and other specialized work may require licensed professional involvement. Coordination is available only when it is confirmed for the project and state.
What files will I receive?
Most projects include a professional PDF suitable for electronic submission or printing. DWG, JPG, calculation reports, source files or additional sheets are provided when listed in the selected package or custom scope.
