Why It Matters

A Clear Site Plan Helps Everyone Understand the Project

A good site plan brings the important property information into one drawing so owners, contractors, designers, and reviewers can see how the proposed work fits the site.

Start Your Site Plan →
01

Clear Property Context

Structures, boundaries, access, setbacks, and proposed work can be understood together instead of across disconnected documents.

02

Better Permit Coordination

A well-organized drawing makes it easier to identify the site information that may be relevant to a permit review.

03

Fewer Avoidable Clarifications

Clear labels and project scope can reduce confusion caused by missing, inconsistent, or poorly organized site information.

04

Easier Project Communication

Owners, contractors, and other project participants have a common drawing to reference when discussing site conditions and proposed work.

Start with the right property information. Available surveys, existing drawings, photos, assessor records, and project details can all help define the drafting scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About California Site Plans

These answers cover common questions about our drafting process, project information, revisions, delivery, and California permit-related site plans.

What information do you need to start a site plan?
Start with the property address, project description, and any available survey, existing plans, assessor information, photos, permit comments, or sketches. The exact information needed depends on the property and project scope.
Can the entire process be completed online?
Yes. Project information, source documents, review comments, revisions, and final drawing files can be coordinated digitally.
Do I need an existing survey?
Not every project starts with a survey. Whether one is needed depends on the property, available records, proposed work, and local requirements. We review the information you have and confirm the drafting scope before work begins.
What types of projects do you prepare site plans for?
Common projects include ADUs, JADUs, home additions, garages, pools and spas, decks, patio covers, accessory structures, grading or drainage-related scopes, existing-condition drawings, and commercial improvements.
How long does a typical project take?
Turnaround depends on project scope, source information, and requested deliverables. For eligible scopes, the site currently offers a 23–48 hour turnaround target after the project information and scope are confirmed.
Are revisions included?
Revision support is available throughout the project. The exact revision coverage depends on the agreed scope and the nature of the requested changes.
Can you prepare PE-stamped drawings?
PE-stamped plan support is available for applicable projects. Whether a professional engineer stamp is required or appropriate depends on the project type and jurisdictional requirements.
Does a site plan guarantee permit approval?
No drawing provider can guarantee a jurisdiction’s approval decision. Our role is to prepare the agreed site-plan drawings and support applicable revisions based on the project information and reviewing comments provided.
