01 / THE PROCESS

From your first message
to the final files.

Each property and permit request is different. Our workflow makes the responsibilities, deliverables and review points clear before you commit to drafting.

01 / PROJECT DETAILS
01PROJECT DETAILS

Tell us where and what you’re building.

Start with the property address, the proposed work and its approximate dimensions. Send a survey, existing plot plan or photographs if you have them; you don’t need a complete drawing package just to request pricing.

WHAT TO CHECK
  • North Carolina address and municipality or county
  • Project type, proposed size and basic placement
  • Any existing survey, sketch or reviewer comments
At this stageWe’ll identify the basic information needed to assess the request.

06 / COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you begin.

Practical answers about source documents, timing, drawings, and permit corrections.

See All FAQs
Can I get a quote without a property survey?

Yes. Provide the address and proposed improvement first. We’ll explain whether a current survey or verified property information is needed for the particular drawing scope.

How soon will my drawings be finished?

The estimated schedule is provided with your quote and depends on project complexity, available information, requested revisions and any necessary professional review.

Are engineering seals included?

Not automatically. When regulated engineering or a professional seal is needed, that work is separately identified and subject to review and acceptance by an appropriately licensed professional.

Can you revise drawings after city comments?

Send the written city or county comments along with the submitted drawings. We’ll check whether changes fall within the agreed scope or require additional drawings or professional services.

Do you file the permit for me?

Permit application filing, review fees and direct coordination with the jurisdiction are not included unless your written proposal expressly includes those services.

Which drawing files do I receive?

A final PDF is standard for a site-plan drafting scope. Editable DWG, additional sheets and other formats are included only when listed in the proposal.
