Why NBE

Avoid sending incomplete or conflicting plans forward

Clear drawings help the city, consultants, and contractor understand the same proposed project.

Find missing decisions before they turn into correction comments or field questions
Fit beams, supports, and foundations into the architectural design
Reduce contradictions between architectural and engineering sheets
Give reviewers and contractors a clearer basis for their work

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work from plans prepared by my architect or designer?+

Yes. We can review the existing set, define the structural scope, and coordinate directly with the project team.

When should structural coordination begin?+

Early schematic or design development is ideal, especially for large openings, unusual roof forms, long spans, hillside sites, or other structurally significant features.

Do you prepare architectural plans or only structural sheets?+

Available services depend on the project. An initial review establishes which architectural, structural, or other coordinated disciplines and documents are included, along with the responsible professionals.

Do you measure the existing building?+

Existing-condition documentation may be required when reliable drawings are unavailable. The proposal will state whether field measuring or record verification is included and which concealed conditions remain unverified.

Can you help with a plan-check correction letter?+

Yes. Send the correction notice and current plan set so we can identify which comments are within the structural or coordination scope.

Will coordinated plans mean the permit is approved?+

The reviewing agency controls that decision. Coordinated, code-conscious documents give reviewers clearer information, and the team can respond to applicable comments included in the proposal.

Bring us the plans you have today
