Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Professional Engineer for my permit?+

That 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?+

Submittal and tracking support may be included depending on the project and jurisdiction. The proposal will state who is responsible for application forms, fees, uploads, and agency communication.

Are permit fees, planning approval, and other consultant work included?+

Only when expressly listed. 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?+

Yes. Permit corrections often affect several drawings, so coordination with the project team is an important part of a consistent response.

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.

Send the plans and every page of the agency request

Include the property address, current drawing set, project description, and complete correction notice. We will identify the structural work needed for the next submittal.
