What we do
Pick your project. We handle the permit engineering.
Seven fields, one process: a fixed fee, your state's code, and a seal from a licensed engineer. Choose a field to see exactly what we prepare for you.
Structural Engineering
Drawings your plan reviewer accepts the first time
Beams, framing, foundations and the calculations behind them, sized to your state's code and sealed by a licensed PE. Most residential structural packages are delivered in 3 to 7 business days.
Architectural Plans
From the idea in your head to a set the city will file
Floor plans, elevations and complete permit drawing sets for additions, remodels, ADUs and new builds, drawn from your sketch, photos or survey and formatted for your building department.
Civil & Site Engineering
Site, grading and drainage plans that clear plan review
From a scaled site plan for a small permit to full grading, drainage and stormwater design, prepared from your survey and sealed by a licensed civil engineer.
MEP Engineering
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing, coordinated in one set
HVAC layouts with load calculations, panel schedules and single-line diagrams, plumbing and gas sizing: designed together so the trades never conflict at inspection.
Solar & Energy
Solar permits approved in days, not weeks
PV plan sets, single-line diagrams and the PE stamped structural letter your city asks for: rooftop, ground-mount, battery and EV charger projects in all 50 states.
Landscape & Outdoor
Outdoor projects engineered before the inspector asks
Pergolas, patio covers, decks, pools and landscape walls: drawings and calculations that satisfy the HOA and the building department in the same submission.
For Contractors & Builders
A licensed PE on call for your whole pipeline
Volume pricing, fast consistent reviews and one point of contact for GCs, remodelers and solar installers, in every state you build in.

Exceeded all my expectations for the project. Received very detailed engineering plans, with all necessary research and compliance requirements met, even in such a challenging regulatory environment. I highly recommend ResidentialPE and their engineers, and I look forward to future projects with them again.

It was a complex engineering project in a challenging regulatory environment, where the target space is just beginning to grow. ResidentialPE combined our input with their research to create excellent engineering plans and obtain necessary permit approvals.

Questions
Answers before you spend anything
How fast can I get stamped drawings?
Most residential review-and-stamp jobs are back in 48 to 72 hours once we have everything we need. Full design packages depend on scope, and the engineer gives you a firm date in writing before you pay.
Are you licensed in my state?
Yes. We work with Professional Engineers licensed across all 50 states, and your drawings are sealed by an engineer licensed in the state where the work is being built.
What do you need from me to start?
Whatever you have: PDF or CAD drawings, a survey, photos, or a hand sketch with dimensions. Add the city or county and any comments the building department already gave you.
What does it cost?
Review and stamp of small residential work starts at $249. Engineered plans with a PE stamp start at $599. Larger or multi-discipline projects are quoted as one fixed fee before any work begins. No hourly billing and no surprises.
What if the city rejects the drawings?
We answer the reviewer’s comments and revise the drawings at no extra charge. Permit support is included until your submission is approved.
Is the whole process online?
Yes. Everything is handled online: upload, review, questions, revisions and the final sealed PDF. It works the same whether your project is across town or across the country.
Do I need an engineer or an architect?
For most residential structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and civil work, an engineer’s seal is what the building department asks for. Some projects, such as larger commercial buildings, also need an architect. We confirm what your department requires before we quote.
Do you visit the site?
Most projects are handled from your drawings, photos and measurements. When a project needs someone on site, such as certain inspections, we tell you before quoting and arrange it as part of the job.
