Find your state
Choose your state for the code edition in force, local design loads and what your building department expects on the drawings.
Engineering is licensed state by state. A seal only counts if the Professional Engineer holds an active license in the state where the work is being built, and the design has to follow the code edition and the load criteria that state and county actually enforce. We work across all 50 states, and every set is sealed by an engineer licensed where you are building.
Choose your state
What changes from state to state
- Which code is adopted, and which edition. Some states adopt a statewide residential code; others leave adoption to each city and county, so two neighbouring jurisdictions can enforce different editions of the same code.
- Design loads. Ground snow in the north, design wind speed and exposure on the coast, seismic design category in the west, and frost depth for footings almost everywhere.
- When a stamp is required. Some jurisdictions want an engineer on any structural alteration; others only above a threshold, or only for specific work such as retaining walls and additions.
- What the submission package looks like. Sheet size, number of copies, whether calculations are required, whether the site plan must be sealed, and whether the portal accepts digital seals.
What stays the same wherever you build
- A licensed PE reviews or designs the work and puts their seal, signature and license number on the sheets
- One fixed fee, quoted in writing before anything starts
- Typical turnaround of 48 to 72 hours on standard residential scopes
- Plan review comments answered and revisions made until your permit is approved
- Everything handled online, so your location never changes the price or the schedule
