What’s involved

How the project runs.

01
STEP ONE

Feasibility

We check your lot, zoning and setbacks before you spend on drawings.

02
STEP TWO

Design

Architectural plans built to clear plan check, not only to look good.

03
STEP THREE

Permit

Submittal, corrections and city liaison. We handle the reviewer.

04
STEP FOUR

Build

Construction and project management through to final inspection.

Rules that apply.

Limits vary by jurisdiction. These are the levers that decide what fits on your lot — we confirm every one of them against your city before design starts.

  • AccessibilityCompliance review required
All the rules that apply, with citations
  • Fire & life safetySeparate review track

These are the reviews and limits that typically govern this work. Most are set by your jurisdiction and by the building, fire and accessibility codes — they are requirements, not starting points. We confirm exactly which ones apply to your address and scope before design starts. See regulations by city. Statutes reviewed 4 August 2026.
