Step 1
Describe the project
The address or city, what you are building or changing, and roughly how big it is. A sentence is enough to start.
How it works
From project description to an agreed scope
Start with a description of your project. Discuss the scope and a quote before deciding how to proceed.
Steps
The process
Step 2
Discuss the scope
We pass your request to a Florida architecture practice. Discuss the drawings, site information and any coordination the project needs.
Step 3
Review the quote
Agree on what is included, the fees and the schedule directly with the practice before work begins.
Step 4
Plan the next steps
If you proceed, the practice prepares the agreed documents. Confirm who will submit the permit application and handle any review comments.
Preparation
What to have ready
- The project address, and the county it is in
- What you are building, adding or changing
- Rough dimensions, or the survey or plot plan if you have one
- Any drawings, sketches or inspiration you already have
- Whether the property is residential or commercial
- Whether a permit has already been applied for
Questions
Common questions
What happens after I send a request?
We pass your project details to a Florida architecture practice. Discuss the scope, fees and schedule directly with the practice before deciding to proceed.
Can I request a quote if I am not sure what plans I need?
Yes. Describe the location and what you want to build or change. You can choose 'Other, or not sure yet' on the form.
Are the drawings sealed?
Some scopes require sealed documents, while others do not. Agree the preparation and sealing responsibilities with the practice. Architectural and engineering documents may require different professionals; a seal does not guarantee approval.
How do I check a Florida architect's registration?
Professional registration is a matter of public record in Florida. Check it directly with the state before you engage anyone.
