Full plans with structural and Title 24 coordination, revised until every detail is right.

FAQ · common questions

Answers before you call.

The questions we hear most from homeowners, builders, and contractors starting a project in Southern California.

Q-01How long does it take to get my plans?

Most residential architectural sets are completed in about 2-3 weeks, depending on the size and scope of your project.

Q-02How much does drafting cost?

Every project gets a flat fee, quoted up front before any work begins - so you always know exactly what's included and what isn't.

Q-03Do you provide structural engineering and Title 24 reports?

Yes. We deliver fully engineered sets stamped and signed by licensed engineers, and we provide Title 24 energy reports for any residential project that needs one.

Q-04What areas do you serve?

We serve homeowners, builders, and contractors across San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles counties throughout Southern California.

Q-05Can you help with ADUs and garage conversions?

Absolutely - detached ADUs, garage conversions, and JADUs, drawn as complete, permit-ready plan sets ready for submittal.

Q-06Do you handle the building permit process?

We offer it as an optional premium add-on. Your drafting package comes permit-ready for you or your contractor to submit - or, if you'd prefer, we can submit and manage plan check for you.
