Permit notes

  • Existing conditions need documentation.
  • Hillside or lot complexity can escalate scope.
  • Start with feasibility when budget is unknown.
Path Best for Watch out Ask first
Licensed architect Custom homes, complex additions, hillside lots, design-led remodels, high-value projects Can be overkill for simple permit drawings or budget-first ADU work. Will you be architect of record, and what is excluded from your fee?
Residential designer Remodel layouts, additions with clear constraints, homeowner-friendly design help License boundaries matter; structural and code complexity may need architect/engineer support. Who signs, stamps, or coordinates the permit set if the city asks?
Design-build firm Owners who want one team handling design, pricing, and construction Less independent pricing leverage. The same team is designing and selling the build. When do I get a realistic construction number, and can I keep the plans?
Permit drawing team ADUs, garage conversions, as-builts, small additions, settled designs Not the same thing as a full architectural design process. What city comments do you handle, and what requires outside engineering?
