Where are you in your project?
Four ways to begin. Pick the one that fits and we’ll take it from there.
Exploring an idea
Still deciding whether the parcel can take the project? A feasibility study reads the zoning and the local code for that address, notes what the intake desk expects, and lays out the order of steps that office already publishes. You get a clear picture of the path before you spend on drawings.
Get a feasibility study
Need drawings
No sheets yet, or the ones you have were not drawn for this jurisdiction? Our local design partner can prepare a permit set with those local rules in mind. We coordinate the set and the submittal around it.
Start with plans
Plans in hand
The drawings are ready to send. We look for gaps, assemble the application, and file it with the office that reviews the parcel.

Hit a roadblock
The file has gone quiet, or comments came back. We find out where it sits, list what still needs an answer, and work with the person who owns the drawings on the response.

Questions homeowners ask
- How long does permit review take?
- It depends on the jurisdiction's current workload and the project. We tell you what we see in the review, not a promised date.
- Can you guarantee approval?
- No. The city or county decides. Our job is a complete, organized submittal and clear, prompt correction responses.
- Do you draw the plans?
- Drawings come from our local design partner or your own designer. We coordinate them with the permit package.
- How much does it cost?
- Each project is quoted after we understand the jurisdiction, the scope and what documents already exist. You pay one fixed price, agreed in writing up front, and every round of corrections through approval is included. Jurisdiction fees are separate.
- What if I'm missing a document the city needs?
- Some submittals call for items like C3 calcs. If you don't have them, we can get them from trusted local professionals we work with and coordinate it for you. You get one bill, from us.
- Which areas do you serve?
- Clark County and the cities of Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, Ridgefield and Washougal, for residential projects.
