Frequently Asked Questions About Building Permit Site Plans
Every permit is different; use these answers to prepare your scope review and verify project-specific requirements with your permit office.
Why does the building department ask for a site plan?
The site plan lets reviewers evaluate building placement, setbacks, access, lot coverage and relationships to other site features. Structural and trade approvals may require separate construction documents.
Should the site plan indicate demolition or existing buildings?
When relevant, yes. Proposed new work should be distinguishable from existing conditions, and demolition areas may need separate identification.
Are zoning and building permits the same approval?
Not always. Some projects need separate zoning, planning, environmental or right-of-way approvals before or alongside building permits. Check the appropriate review offices.
What are the starting prices?
The eligible Building Permit Site Plans package starts at $99. Larger scopes and additional disciplines are individually quoted.
What information should I provide to start?
Send the project address and reviewing jurisdiction, work description, approximate dimensions, existing survey or drawings if available, photos or sketches, and any plan review comments.
Can the drawings be used in my city or state?
We accept remote drafting requests nationwide. The drawing scope must match the specific local requirements. State licensing rules apply whenever regulated surveying, architectural or engineering services are needed.
Is a professional stamp included?
No stamp or seal is automatic. Where required, a properly licensed professional must perform an independent review and accept responsibility before signing or sealing, under a separately agreed scope.
What happens if the permit reviewer requests changes?
Reasonable drawing corrections within the original agreed scope are supported according to the proposal. New design work, surveys and additional engineering are separately assessed.
