The drawings and forms your city needs to review a project, prepared clearly so review goes smoothly.
Permit reviewers look at hundreds of projects. A clear, complete drawing set makes their job easier and keeps your project moving. An incomplete or confusing one invites questions and delays. A permit set shows the work in enough detail to check against codes and zoning, and it includes the notes and forms the city asks for. Owners and builders in Nashville ask us to prepare permit sets that are ready to submit.
We review the requirements for your jurisdiction and project type, then prepare the drawings: site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, key details and required notes. We coordinate engineering drawings and calculations, fill in forms with you and check the set before submittal. We submit or support your submittal, respond to review comments and revise the drawings as needed. Send us any letters, notices or past permits for the property, along with your HOA or overlay information. Reviewers look at the whole picture, and knowing the history of the property helps us prepare a set that answers their questions before they ask. Also tell us about your timeline. If a lease, a sale or a season matters, we can sequence the drawings and consultant work to meet it, and we can prepare an early submittal with later details added if the jurisdiction allows it.
We prepare what your jurisdiction asks for, not more or less, so reviewers can do their job.
Structural and systems drawings and calculations are included and checked against the architectural set.
If reviewers have questions, we respond and revise promptly.
