常见问题

• What AHJs do you file in regularly?+

  In Arizona: Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale, Gilbert, Tucson, Maricopa County, Pima County. Outside AZ: Los Angeles (city + county), Las Vegas / Clark County, Reno, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Denver. New AHJs we file in get an upfront jurisdictional research line on the quote (typically $250–$500) so we don't guess on their submittal portal or correction format.

• How fast is "permit expediting"?+

  We can't make the AHJ review faster — what we do is keep the package clean enough to avoid corrections and respond to corrections within 24 hours when they come. For Phoenix TI typical: first submittal to issuance averages 4–6 weeks. We track the AHJ's queue and follow up on day 1 of every published turnaround.

• What happens if my permit gets rejected on first review?+

  We respond to corrections at no extra fee — that's in the fixed-fee scope. The only extras are if the AHJ asks for substantive new scope (e.g., adds a structural review requirement that wasn't in the original) — those are quoted separately, transparently.

• Do you stamp drawings?+

  We are a drafting studio, not a licensed architecture or engineering firm. For projects that need a stamp, we partner with licensed architects and engineers in your state and route the drawings through them. The cost of the stamp is itemized separately on your quote so there are no surprises.

• Do you submit permits on my behalf?+

  Yes — for an itemized fee, we file the permit package directly with the AHJ, handle correction cycles, and shepherd the set through to issuance. Or you can take the stamped set and submit it yourself. Your call; either way, the drawing scope is the same.

• What is your revision policy?+

  Every fixed-fee quote includes two rounds of revisions before construction documents are finalized. AHJ corrections (changes the city asks for after submittal) are bundled in — we don't charge extra for plan-check responses. Substantive scope changes after CD freeze are quoted separately at the hourly rate.

• Can you work with my existing GC, engineer, or interior designer?+

  Yes — most of our projects come in this way. We routinely coordinate with general contractors, structural / MEP engineers, kitchen designers, and interior designers your team has already retained. We work in their CAD format, attend their coordination meetings, and produce drawings that bid cleanly against their scope.

• How fast can you turn around a set?+

  Typical permit-set turnaround is 2–5 weeks from a complete brief; complex commercial TI or multifamily can stretch to 8–12 weeks. We commit to dates in writing on the quote and hold them — late-delivery credits are part of the contract.

• What languages do you work in?+

  English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Drafters in all three on staff. We can issue drawing sets bilingually if your trade contractors prefer Spanish — useful in Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Texas markets.
