Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a Professional Engineer for my permit?
It depends on the work, structural changes, jurisdiction, and building department requirements. Send the plans or agency request and we can identify the likely engineering scope.
Can you fix plans that already received corrections?
Yes. We can review the complete correction notice, identify comments within our scope, revise the structural documents, and prepare responses.
Do you submit the permit application for me?
Submission and tracking support may be included, depending on the project and jurisdiction. Your proposal will state who handles forms, fees, uploads, and agency communication.
Are permit fees, planning approval, and other consultant work included?
They are included only when the proposal lists them. Agency fees, planning or zoning work, surveys, geotechnical services, and discipline-specific documents may remain the owner’s or another consultant’s responsibility.
Can you coordinate with my architect or contractor?
Permit corrections can affect several drawings. We coordinate with the project team to keep the response consistent.
Which nearby cities do you support with structural permit drawings?
NBE is based in Irvine and serves nearby Orange County communities including Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach, Tustin, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Orange, and Rancho Santa Margarita. Send the property address and agency request so we can confirm the project fit.
How long will permit approval take?
Agency review time depends on jurisdiction workload, project complexity, completeness, and the number of disciplines involved. We can define our production scope, but we do not promise an agency decision date.
