DOCUMENT THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Engineering Permit Drawings

Structural engineering drawings and supporting documentation for residential and small commercial permit applications. Define the engineering scope, develop the required details and coordinate the information needed for your proposed work.

Discuss your permit drawings

THE RIGHT SUPPORT

Start with the question
you need answered.

Bring us your renovation plans, existing drawings or municipal comments. We establish the structural design work and documentation your application needs, based on the proposed changes and available information. The engineering package explains the agreed structural scope for review and construction coordination. Municipal permit review and approval remain a separate step in the project.

Is this your project?

Your renovation includes changes to walls, beams, posts or foundations.
A permit application needs structural drawings or supporting design information.
You have existing plans that require an engineering review.

WHAT WE DO

A clearly defined scope.

Define the package

Review the proposal and available comments to establish the structural drawings and supporting information required.

Develop the details

Prepare the structural calculations, drawings and connections needed for the agreed design.

Review and issue

Complete the professional review and authentication required for the engineering documents, then clarify questions within scope.

What you can receive

Structural drawings and details for the defined project scope.
Supporting engineering documentation appropriate to the design.
Professionally reviewed and sealed engineering documents as required.

Deliverables are confirmed with your project scope.

What helps us get started

Property location, proposed plans and a description of the changes.
Existing drawings, photographs and available structural information.
Municipal application requirements or review comments already received.

HOW IT WORKS

From inquiry
to deliverable.

Review the information
Discuss the application, establish the design scope and identify any site information still needed.
Prepare the design
Develop the structural documentation and coordinate relevant questions with you and the project team.
Issue and clarify
Provide the reviewed engineering documents and address engineering questions within the agreed assignment.

COMMON QUESTIONS

A few useful answers.

Does an engineer's seal mean the permit is approved?

No. Authentication identifies professional responsibility for the engineering work. The municipality reviews the application and decides whether to issue the permit.

Can I bring drawings prepared by someone else?

Yes. We first review their content and purpose. Existing drawings need appropriate engineering review before professional responsibility can be accepted.

Who confirms the permit requirements?

Confirm project-specific requirements with the municipality where the property is located. Share that guidance and any comments so the engineering scope can be coordinated.
