Our Process


In House Design and Plans

Every project starts with a design. Our designers create your plans in 3D and 2D with real measurements, so you can see the finished project and know exactly what is being built before we submit anything.

Structural Engineering
Additions, ADUs, retaining walls, and structural changes need engineering. Our engineers prepare the calculations and stamped plans your project requires, so it is safe, sound, and unapprovable.

We Handle the Permits
Dealing with the city is the part most homeowners dread. We prepare the full permit package, submit it, and manage plan check and any corrections, so you never have to stand in line at the building department.

One Team From Plans to Construction
Because we design, engineer, permit, and build in house, your plans do not sit on a shelf. The same team that draws them builds them, so the finished project matches the approved plans.
