The Challenge

An East Austin restaurant had ten days before a health-inspection deadline to permit a 600 SF outdoor dining patio. The City of Austin wanted occupancy egress paths, ADA access, property lines, and the sidewalk right-of-way boundary all on one scaled exhibit.

02

Our Solution

On the Elite rush track, we produced the exhibit overnight: patio footprint with railing line, two labeled egress routes at code widths, the ADA-compliant ramp landing, the ROW line pulled from city GIS, and a table of occupant-load math the reviewer could verify at a glance.

03

Reported Outcome

Delivered in 10 hours, approved first-pass, and the patio opened the weekend before the deadline — adding 28 seats.
