Residential PE

Site Plans for Permits, Prepared and PE Stamped

Almost every building permit application starts with a site plan — a scaled drawing showing your property boundaries, existing structures, the proposed work, setbacks and lot coverage. We prepare these remotely from your survey, deed or county parcel data and seal them where your jurisdiction requires an engineer’s stamp. Most site plans are returned within 48 hours.

What Is Shown

What Your Site Plan Includes

Drawn to scale, with a north arrow and every dimension a plan reviewer will look for.

Property Lines & Setbacks

Boundaries taken from your survey or deed, with front, rear and side setback dimensions called out to each structure.

Existing & Proposed Structures

The house, garage, shed, deck or addition shown in correct position and footprint, with the new work clearly distinguished.

Lot Coverage & Impervious Area

Calculated and tabulated so the reviewer can confirm you are within the zoning limit without doing the arithmetic themselves.

Driveways, Parking & Access

Access points, driveway width and parking layout where the application requires them.

Drainage & Grading Notes

Existing and proposed drainage direction, and grading notes where the county asks for them.

Easements & Utilities

Recorded easements, utility runs and rights of way marked from your deed or plat.

What We Need From You

A recorded survey is ideal. If you do not have one, we can often work from county GIS parcel data and your deed — tell us your address and we will check what is publicly available before quoting.

Does Your Plan Need a Stamp?

It depends on the jurisdiction. Many counties accept an unsealed scaled site plan for simple residential work, while others require a licensed engineer or surveyor’s seal for anything involving grading, drainage or impervious coverage.

Send us your address and the permit checklist and we will tell you which applies before you order, so you are not paying for a seal you do not need.

Turnaround & Pricing

Standard residential site plans are usually delivered within 48 hours. Plans requiring grading, drainage design or multiple structures typically take three to five days.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A recorded survey is the most accurate starting point, but it is not always required. For many residential permits we can work from county GIS parcel data combined with your deed. Send us your address and we will check what is available and tell you honestly whether a survey is needed.

No. We work remotely from your survey, deed, county records and photographs. A site plan is a scaled drawing built from recorded property data, not from field measurement — that is a surveyor’s job and a different service.

Yes. Those are among the most common requests. Accessory structures usually need setbacks and lot coverage shown, and often the impervious area calculation, all of which we include as standard.

We check your jurisdiction’s site plan checklist before drafting, so the sheet contains what your reviewer expects to see. If comments come back, we revise and reissue at no extra charge.

The terms are used interchangeably by most building departments. Some counties call it a plot plan for simple residential work and reserve site plan for commercial submissions. Send us your checklist and we will produce whichever the wording on it describes.
