FAQs

What is a site plan for a remodeling permit?

A site plan is a scaled drawing of your property that shows existing structures, proposed changes, and important details required for permit approval.

Why do I need a site plan for my remodel?

Most building departments require a site plan to ensure your remodel meets zoning rules, setbacks, and safety codes before issuing a permit.

How accurate does the site plan need to be?

Your site plan must be to scale and clearly show property lines, structures, and improvements. Accuracy is critical to avoid delays or rejections. Since we use remote data for dimensions you should verify all measurements on the ground. If there are any discrepancies we will update your site plan free of charge.

How long does it take to get a site plan?

We deliver site plans within 24 hours, depending on the complexity of your project. Rush options are also available to have your plan in under 12 hours.

Can I use your site plan for any city or county?

Yes, our site plans are accepted nationwide. We customize them to meet the specific requirements of your local permitting office. As a rule of thumb, if you are allowed to draw the site plan yourself then we can do it for you. It's always good to confirm with your building department before ordering with us.

Do you handle the permit application as well?

We provide permit-ready site plans. While we don’t file the application, our comprehensive drawings give you everything needed to submit confidently.
