Services
Permits & Plans
Drawing packages and responses for building-permit applications.
Permit Plans
Permit plans explain the proposed work to the building department. The set may include site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections and details, depending on the project. The practice preparing it confirms the required documents and coordinates them with the owner and contractor.
Construction Documents
Construction documents describe the dimensions, materials, assemblies and details needed to price and build a project. They help the owner, contractor and trades work from the same scope. The level of detail and any written specifications are agreed with the practice.
Window & Door Permit Plans
Window and door plans identify the openings being replaced, the proposed units and their installation details. They may include product approvals, anchoring, flashing and opening dimensions. The existing wall, site conditions and local submission requirements determine the scope.
Plan Review Response
Plan-review responses address comments on a submitted permit package. The work may involve clarifying the design, revising drawings or supplying missing documents. A coordinated response identifies how each comment has been addressed for the next review.
Demolition Permit Plans
Demolition plans identify what will be removed and what will remain. They can also show utility-disconnection information, site protection and the relationship to nearby structures. The contractor's proposed method and the local permit requirements help define the documentation needed.
Services
Residential
Design and documentation for new homes, additions, renovations and small residential developments.
Residential Architect
Residential architecture brings together the layout, appearance and construction details of a home. The work can cover a new house, an addition or changes to an existing building. Site constraints, wind, rain and humidity help shape the design and documentation.
New Home Design
New-home design starts with the way you want to live and the opportunities and limits of the lot. The architect develops the layout and appearance, then coordinates the drawings and details needed for the agreed permit and construction scope.
Garage Conversion & ADU Architect
A garage conversion adapts existing space for residential use. An accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, provides a separate dwelling on the property. The design addresses the proposed use, local rules, existing construction and the services needed for the new space.
Addition Plans
Addition plans show the new space and how its roof, walls, floors and services connect to the existing home. The design needs to account for the property limits, existing construction and any structural work needed at those connections.
Renovation Plans
Renovation plans document changes within an existing home, including removals, new layouts and construction details. They start with the building as it stands and help coordinate the architectural, structural and building-system work included in the scope.
Outdoor Living Architect
Outdoor-living design helps turn a porch, patio or backyard area into usable space. The drawings address the proposed structure, connections to the house, drainage and any power, water or gas services included in the project.
Duplex & Multifamily Plans
Duplex and multifamily plans coordinate dwelling layouts, separation between units, exits and the site. Parking, access, utilities and local development rules help determine what can be built on the property and what specialist work is needed.
Historic Renovation Architect
Historic-renovation design starts with the building's condition and the features that give it character. Drawings can document repairs, alterations and new work, with local preservation review coordinated where it applies. Being old or listed on a register does not create the same requirements in every case.
Coastal Home Architect
Coastal-home design considers the site's flood zone, wind exposure, access and salt-air conditions. These factors influence the building elevation, foundation, openings, materials and connections. State coastal approvals may also be needed for work near the shore.
Pool & Screen Enclosure Plans
Pool and screen-enclosure plans show how the proposed work fits on the lot. The package can include setbacks, barriers, drainage, enclosure details and equipment information, coordinated with the pool and enclosure specialists.
Services
Commercial
Design and coordinated documentation for offices, shops, restaurants and other commercial spaces.
Restaurant Architect
Restaurant design coordinates the menu and equipment with the kitchen, seating, circulation and building services. Ventilation, plumbing, grease handling, fire protection and accessibility can shape the layout. A new restaurant and a takeover of an existing space may need different scopes.
Change of Use Architect
A proposed change of use needs to be checked against the building's existing approvals and the requirements for the new operation. The review can identify changes to exits, fire protection, restrooms, accessibility and building services, with drawings prepared for the required work.
Commercial Architect
Commercial architecture covers buildings and spaces used by businesses and other non-residential organizations. The design brings together the layout, appearance, access, exits and construction details, with structural and building-system specialists coordinated as needed.
Tenant Improvement Plans
Tenant-improvement plans show changes within a leased space, such as partitions, ceilings, fixtures, lighting and building services. The proposed layout needs to work with the existing building and the landlord's requirements as well as the permit scope.
Medical Office Architect
Medical-office design considers patient access, staff circulation, treatment rooms and equipment. The drawings coordinate the layout with the plumbing, ventilation, electrical, medical-gas or imaging requirements that apply to the specialty and proposed facility.
Industrial & Warehouse Architect
Warehouse and industrial design considers storage, equipment, staff and vehicle movement. Clear height, loading docks, floor loads and fire protection need to suit the operation. Architectural drawings are coordinated with structural, civil and building-system design within the agreed scope.
Hotel Architect
Hotel design coordinates guest rooms, corridors, shared amenities and staff facilities. Room types, accessibility, exits, building services and the operator's requirements shape the layout. The scope can cover a new hotel, renovation or conversion of an existing building.
Facade Renovation Architect
Facade-renovation drawings show proposed changes to a building's exterior and how new materials connect to the existing construction. The scope can include cladding, storefronts, windows, canopies and signage, with structural, weatherproofing and local design requirements coordinated as needed.
Services
Structural & Building Science
Structural design and building assessments, with engineering or inspection specialists as the scope requires.
Structural Drawings
Structural drawings show how loads are supported through the foundations, framing and connections. They can cover new buildings, additions or changes to an existing structure. This engineering service is coordinated with the architectural layout and the conditions at the site.
Load Bearing Wall Removal
Removing a load-bearing wall requires a designed way to support the loads it carries. The scope can include assessment of the existing framing, a replacement beam, posts, connections and foundations, with temporary support and installation responsibilities agreed before demolition.
Services
Site & Existing Conditions
Site layouts and measured drawings documenting the property and existing building.
Site Plans
A site plan shows the proposed work in relation to boundaries, setbacks, easements and existing improvements. The scope may also include parking, drainage, utilities, landscaping or flood information. Survey and specialist design requirements depend on the property and application.
As-Built Drawings
Existing-condition drawings record the building as it can be observed and measured. They can support a renovation, property review or an application concerning earlier work. The scope states the level of detail, measurement accuracy and limits on documenting concealed construction.
Services
Advisory & Review
Focused reviews and code assessments to support decisions about a design or existing building.
