A construction project sounds like a challenge?
We make it easy to get started
1. Create property site plan
Let us show you: 1. How big you can build. 2. How much it may cost.
2. Select the best floor plan
Get started with the plan that fits most of your requirements and then tweak it to fit 100%.
3. Compile the permit plan set
The number of pages in your plan set can differ from 8 to 140 (no kidding). It all depends on property specifics and city (or county) requirements. The better prepared your first submission is, the faster you get your permits.
4. Respond to Plan Checker comments
Do you know that the most frequent reason it takes such a long time to pull permits is the number of weeks that passed between the day the city had given plan check comments and the day your team responded to them?
