Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Site Plans
Every permit is different; use these answers to prepare your scope review and verify project-specific requirements with your permit office.
What should a residential site plan include for a home addition?
The drawing should locate the proposed addition next to the existing home, show property lines and relevant setback measurements, and identify any added driveway, walkway or impervious surfaces requested by the city.
Is a site plan enough for an attached porch or garage?
A site plan may satisfy only the zoning or placement portion of the permit. Structural footings, framing, roof attachments or electrical work can require separate building drawings.
What if the house footprint on my old survey is outdated?
Send the survey together with current measurements or marked-up photographs. We will identify conflicts and discuss whether updated survey information is needed before drafting.
What are the starting prices?
The eligible Residential 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.
