Service scope
What we check
We follow each issue through the related documents.
- Structural completeness and consistency between calculations, plans, and details
- Applicable code criteria and design assumptions shown in the submitted record
- Conflicts between structural, architectural, and other affected drawings
- Agency comments, prior responses, and the revisions needed for resubmittal
Project deliverables
Deliverables matched to your project
The package depends on whether you need findings or revisions.
- Prioritized findings tied to affected sheets, calculations, or missing information
- A comment matrix showing responsibility, action, and response status
- Revised calculations, drawings, and Professional Engineer signatures when included and required
- Written responses cross-referenced to each applicable comment and revision

Keep the response letter, calculations, and drawings consistent
Give the reviewing agency a clearer record for reevaluation
Clear Communication From First Question to Next Step
“They were very responsive, helped me salvage what I could from the previous firm, and provided the expertise and knowledge needed to finish the job quickly and efficiently.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you review plans before I submit them?+
Yes. A pre-submittal review can focus on structural completeness, coordination, code criteria, and likely documentation gaps. It does not replace the building department’s review.
Can you help after plans have been rejected or corrected?+
Yes. Send the entire correction notice and current plan set. We can identify applicable comments, needed revisions, and coordination responsibilities.
Do you respond to comments outside structural engineering?+
We can coordinate with the relevant design professionals, but each discipline must address work requiring its own expertise or professional responsibility.
What is the difference between this service and general building-permit support?+
Plan-check review centers on finding, organizing, and resolving document comments or coordination gaps. Building-permit support is broader and may include creating the engineering package needed for an initial permit application.
What do you need to start?+
Provide the complete current plan set, calculations, agency letter, prior response history, project address, and contact information for the design team.
Will a pre-review mean the plans are approved?+
The reviewing agency controls that decision and may raise project-specific questions. A careful review improves completeness and drawing consistency but cannot promise an outcome.
