From a complete Revit-drafted construction drawing set to the application, agency coordination, and every round of plan check corrections it takes to clear review — we manage the permit process end to end, plus feasibility studies for owners who want to know what's buildable before committing to full design.
A permit set isn't just the drawings — it's the drawings plus everything that gets them through the city's process. The drawings themselves are a complete construction set prepared for submittal: site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and the construction details a plan checker needs to sign off on the work, coordinated in Revit so a change on one sheet doesn't leave another sheet out of date. Beyond the drawings, we prepare the actual permit application, submit the set to the city, track review status, and coordinate with whichever agencies your project touches — building, planning, and sometimes fire or public works — so you're not the one calling the counter to find out where things stand.
Almost every project comes back with at least one round of plan check comments, and responding to those — revising the drawings and managing the resubmittal — is a standard part of how we run a permit set project, not a separate service that shows up as a surprise invoice later. For owners who aren't ready to commit to a full drawing set yet, we also run zoning and feasibility studies, including SB-9 lot split feasibility, so you know roughly what your lot can support before paying for design. This work sits downstream of our broader architectural drafting & design service, and the site plan inside a permit set often starts from the boundary and topographic data captured in our site plans & property surveys service.
Complete construction drawing sets prepared for city submittal — site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and construction details, coordinated in Revit so every sheet agrees with the others by the time it reaches a plan checker's desk.
We prepare the permit application, submit the set to the city, track review status, and coordinate with whichever agencies your project touches, so following up on holds and status checks isn't left to you.
Cities almost always send back at least one round of comments. Responding to corrections, revising the drawings and managing the resubmittal is a standard part of how we run every permit set project, not a separate paid add-on we spring on you afterward.
Buildable-area studies, unit-count analysis, FAR and lot-coverage calculations, and a preliminary development concept — so you know roughly what your lot can support before committing to a full drawing set.
California law allows many single-family-zoned lots to be split into two, provided the lot meets specific size, access and development criteria and isn't in certain protected or historic areas. We check your lot against those criteria and your city's own standards for an honest read before you spend money pursuing one.
If your project starts with a zoning question or an SB-9 lot split, we run the numbers — FAR, unit count, lot coverage — before any drawings get made.
Full construction drawing set drafted in Revit — site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and details, built around your specific jurisdiction's requirements.
We prepare the application, submit to the city, and track review status so you're not the one refreshing a permit portal.
When the plan checker sends back comments, we revise and resubmit — a standard part of the process, not a separate project.
Responding to a normal round of plan check comments — clarifying a dimension, adding a detail, adjusting a note — is a standard part of every permit set project we take on, not a billable surprise. If the city's comments require a genuinely different design than what we originally scoped, we'll talk with you about it before doing that additional work, but routine corrections are simply part of getting a set through review.
It's a preliminary check of what your lot can actually support — buildable area, unit count, FAR and lot-coverage limits, and a rough development concept — before you spend money on a complete drawing set. It's optional, not required, but it's useful if you're not sure yet whether your idea fits your lot or your city's zoning, or you're comparing more than one option before committing.
It depends on your lot's size, dimensions, access and location, and on your specific city's development standards, so we can't answer that in general terms — it takes an actual feasibility study of your property. That study gives you an honest read on whether a split looks realistic, but it's a feasibility analysis, not a guarantee: qualifying on paper and getting the city's final approval are two different things, and the approval decision is always the city's to make.
