Every project is different, but most permit ready packages include a core set of sheets. The goal is clarity for building and review.
• Existing and proposed floor plans
• Exterior elevations when the outside changes
• Building sections and key details
• Door and window locations and schedules as needed
• Notes that clarify scope, materials intent, and construction approach
• Coordination sheets when engineering is involved
How plan types are used
| Drawing type | What it helps with | When it matters most |
|---|
| Floor plan | Layout, dimensions, egress | Remodels and additions |
| Elevations | Exterior look and openings | Additions, facade updates |
| Sections | How parts stack and connect | Roof changes, ceiling shifts |
| Details | Waterproofing and transitions | Exterior doors, patios, tricky spots |
If your contractor is pricing the job, these drawings help reduce guesswork. If you are pulling permits, they help reviewers see the intent without mind reading.
Curious how your project will run? Here is a clear look at each step.
1. Call and chatTell us about your idea, location, and timing. We will ask about flood zone, elevation, and any storm history.
2. On-site visitWe meet at your place. We check structure, access, utilities, and measure. We look at wind exposure and salt patterns too.
3. Plan and estimateWe develop a scope, drawings if needed, and a detailed estimate. You get a clear path from start to finish.
4. Permits and windstormWe submit for county permits, coordinate with your engineer if needed, and set up windstorm inspections.
5. Materials and scheduleWe order materials, plan deliveries around the ferry, and lock in trade calendars. You get a kickoff date.
6. BuildCrews work the plan, keep the site tidy, and update you often. We adjust if weather gets pushy.
7. Inspections and closeoutWe handle code and windstorm inspections. We walk the job with you, complete punch list, and hand over documents.
Do you want weekly photo updates if you live inland? We do that for many owners.
