What we do in Sacramento
In California many cities let a designer or the owner draw plans for simple interior work on a detached house. We draft an unstamped permit set for non-structural remodels of detached 1 to 2 family houses: existing and proposed floor plans, demo plan, partitions, electrical, plumbing and finishes, plus a quantity takeoff for your bid. Anything structural, an ADU, a condo or multifamily goes to a licensed architect or engineer, and we say so at intake.
Pilot price: $1.00 per sq ft, minimum $990, for the first 10 orders. See pricing, a sample set and how it works.
