Areas we serve
Permit-ready plans for homeowners, builders, and contractors across the Inland Empire - flat-fee pricing and a 2-3 week drafting turnaround.
We're based in the Inland Empire (909) and draw residential projects across San Bernardino, Riverside, and the eastern side of Los Angeles County. Every set is delivered as print-ready PDFs, so most of the work happens by email and phone - with a site visit when a project needs one.
County by county
The core of our work - the West Valley and beyond, from Rancho Cucamonga out to the high-desert edge of the valley floor.
From the Santa Ana River communities out through the fast-growing suburbs of the I-215 and I-15 corridors.
The eastern LA County communities that neighbor the Inland Empire, along the 10 and 210 freeways.
Don't see your city? These are representative - not a complete list. If you're anywhere in San Bernardino, Riverside, or eastern Los Angeles, reach out and we'll let you know how we can help.
How local permitting works
Across Southern California, each city and county runs its own building department and plan-check process, with its own submittal requirements, development standards, and review timelines. A project inside a city is reviewed by that city's building department; a project in an unincorporated area is reviewed by the county. The drawings, however, are held to the same statewide building, energy, and structural codes - so a well-prepared set travels well from one jurisdiction to the next.
Here's the part we own: we deliver a complete, permit-ready plan set drawn to current code - site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, and structural engineering and Title 24 energy compliance where the project calls for it. From there, you or your contractor submit the set to your local building department, which reviews it and issues the permit.
Tell us about your project and property, and we send a flat-fee quote before any work begins.
Full set drawn to code, with structural and Title 24 added as your project requires.
You receive complete, print-ready PDFs - with included revision rounds until it's right.
You or your contractor take the set to your local building department for plan check.
Prefer not to deal with the counter? Permit submittal and plan-check management is available as a separate premium add-on - it is not part of the standard drafting package. Confirming that a project can actually be built and permitted on your lot is the owner's or contractor's responsibility; our job is to draw it up accurately so it's ready when you are. Ask us about the add-on during your consultation.
