Built by engineers who know what plan reviewers look for
ArchPermits was founded by a structural engineer and a team of experienced permit drafters who grew frustrated watching good projects stall over avoidable paperwork errors. We built the permit drawing firm we always wished existed: proactive, transparent, and obsessed with getting it right the first time.
Today we support homeowners, architects, and general contractors across hundreds of jurisdictions nationwide, translating dense municipal code into a clear, predictable path to approval.
Our in-house team handles the full scope of permit drawing services: architectural drawings, structural engineering drawings, and MEP drawings covering mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. That means fully dimensioned floor plans, elevations, sections, and blueprints for home additions and remodels, ADU permit plans, garage addition and carport drawings, deck, patio, and sunroom permit drawings, and complete new construction packages — plus construction drawings and commercial tenant improvement drawings for retail, office, and multi-tenant build-outs. Every set is drafted as permit-ready construction documents from day one, not adapted after the fact.
Whether you need a single city permit drawing for a backyard deck or a full architectural, structural, and MEP package for a ground-up commercial build, our structural engineers and permit drafters manage the entire path — drafting, zoning compliance review, and plan check response — until your building permit is approved. We've delivered code-compliant, city-permit-ready drawings for homeowners, architects, contractors, and developers across 300+ municipalities nationwide.
