For builders

Drawings written for the field.

Permit sets that answer the framer’s questions, not only the plan reviewer’s. As-builts, plans, elevations, sections and details, drawn to spec, documented, checked twice. Revisions in days, not weeks.

The Meridian Residence, Raleigh. The great room as it was drawn and as it was rendered before the permit set. Your crew gets the sheets behind both.

As-built measurements

We measure the house before we draw it. The existing conditions sheet is the one the framer checks first.

Plans and elevations

Floor plans, exterior elevations, roof and foundation plans, dimensioned to the stud.

Sections and details

Wall sections, footing to wall connections, flashing and weather barrier details, drawn where the inspector looks.

NC code aware

Ceiling heights, egress, stair geometry and fire blocking checked against the residential code before the set goes out.

Free reference

The NC Code and Permit Guide.

Plain language write-ups of the residential code rules that get jobs kicked back, cited to the code. Built for builders and GCs working in Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham and Johnston counties.

On the retainer
How it works

Three steps from scope to stamp.

  1. Send us the scope

    Hand off the site, the program, the budget and the deadline. Email, call or a Dropbox link. We read it the same day.

  2. We turn the drawings

    Permit-ready drawings in two to four weeks for most projects. The stamped engineering bundle adds five weeks on renovations, seven on custom homes.

  3. We stay on call

    Inspector comments, field changes, client-driven tweaks handled on the same retainer. We know what it costs when the drawings slow the job.
