Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Plans for Permits
Every permit is different; use these answers to prepare your scope review and verify project-specific requirements with your permit office.
Should the floor plan distinguish existing and new walls?
Yes, for many alteration permits it is helpful or required to label walls, openings and fixtures as existing, removed or proposed. Some agencies require separate demolition and proposed floor plans.
Will room dimensions and door widths be shown?
They can be shown when reliable measurements and the requested layout are provided. Building, egress and accessibility requirements vary by project and must be coordinated with other sheets where applicable.
Does a floor plan include electrical or plumbing design?
Not necessarily. Locations of fixtures may appear in an architectural floor plan, but engineered trade layouts and schedules should be scoped as separate drawing services when required.
What are the starting prices?
The eligible Floor Plans for Permits package starts at $250. 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.
