It depends on scope and jurisdiction, but most residential projects run 8–16 weeks from consultation to permit-ready drawings, then continue into construction support. Inspections typically deliver in 5–7 business days; a focused plan set often lands in 3–8 weeks. We’ll give you a realistic range after the first call.

Both work. If you already have architectural plans, sketches or even just photos, send them along — we’ll work from what you have. If you’re starting from scratch, we can take the project from concept through stamped drawings.

Absolutely. We frequently come in as the structural engineer of record on projects where an architect is already engaged. We coordinate directly with their team so the structural design supports — rather than fights — the architectural intent.

We handle plan-check comments as part of the engagement. If the jurisdiction requests revisions, we respond, update the drawings, and resubmit — typically within one review cycle for residential work.

No — the first conversation is free. It’s the only way for both of us to know if the project is a good fit before any paperwork or fees are involved.
