Process

Simple and remote-friendly — optimized for permit approval.

Step 1

Intake

We review your project information to understand the site, scope, and potential approval constraints before any design work begins.

Step 2

Feasibility

An experienced professional reviews zoning and site constraints, and provides a complimentary concept sketch to clarify the design intent before full drawings.

Step 3

Permit Drawings

Based on the earlier professional review, we develop permit drawings aligned with zoning requirements, plan check expectations, and real construction considerations.

Step 4

Plan Check Support

We provide ongoing professional support during plan check, addressing comments and revisions with a clear understanding of the City’s review logic.

What types of projects do you work on?

We focus on residential projects that require City approval, including ADUs, garage conversions, additions, major remodels, and residential rebuilds. Our work is permit-oriented, with an emphasis on feasibility, approval strategy, and buildability.

Why do many residential projects get delayed or rejected?

Most delays occur at zoning and plan check, often because constraints are not fully understood early on. Common issues include setbacks, height limits, parking requirements, overlays, and incomplete documentation. Our process is designed to identify and address these issues before they become costly revisions.

Will I receive a complimentary concept sketch?

Yes. As part of our initial feasibility review, an experienced professional provides a complimentary concept sketch to help clarify the design intent. This sketch is not a finished design, but a focused study informed by zoning, site constraints, and approval considerations. While complimentary, it reflects the same professional judgment applied throughout the project and helps determine whether moving forward with full permit drawings makes sense.

Does a complimentary sketch mean the work is preliminary or low quality?

No. Complimentary does not mean generic or automated. The concept sketch is produced as part of a professional review process and reflects real-world experience with similar projects and review standards.

What happens after the feasibility review?

If the project is viable, we move forward with full permit drawings developed in alignment with zoning requirements, plan check expectations, and construction realities. If constraints are significant, we discuss alternative strategies before unnecessary time or cost is invested.

Can you help if my project has already been submitted or rejected?

Yes. We regularly assist with projects that are under review, redlined, or previously rejected. Our focus is on understanding the reviewer’s logic and addressing comments in a clear, coordinated manner.

How do you work with contractors and other consultants?

Our documentation is prepared with coordination in mind. We interface with contractors, engineers, and other consultants to keep the permit set clear, buildable, and aligned with construction sequencing.

What areas do you serve?

We work with residential projects nationwide. While local regulations vary by jurisdiction, our work is grounded in a strong understanding of zoning frameworks, approval processes, and review standards across different regions. For each project, we focus on the specific local requirements that matter for approval.
