Drawing & permit documentation

Project documentation that keeps work moving

From permit sets to revisions, we prepare coordinated drawings and documentation around your project scope, review requirements, and timeline.

  • Architectural drawings & designPlans, sections, elevations and existing/proposed documentation.
  • Building permit drawing setsComplete, jurisdiction-organized submittal packages.
  • Structural drawings & engineering coordinationFoundations, framing, connections — coordinated with licensed professionals.
  • MEP drawingsMechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts across disciplines.
  • Life safety & code documentationEgress, occupancy and code documentation that answers plan-check questions early.
  • CAD drafting, revisions & as-builtsRedlines, revisions, and as-built documentation of the work actually performed.

01 / Services

Clear deliverables for every project phase

Each scope is reviewed up front so you know what is included, what will be delivered, and where licensed review may be required.

01

Architectural Drawings & Design

Review-ready architectural documentation prepared from a sketch, design direction, or marked-up plans.

Scope

Plans, sections and elevations; existing and proposed conditions; residential and commercial scopes.

Deliverables

Indexed PDF set, DWG deliverables, cover sheet, and a redline-ready markup sheet.

Typical pace

1–2 weeks for straightforward scopes; written quote and timeline up front.

Licensed review?

Where sealing or approval is required, we coordinate with your architect or PE of record.

02

Building Permit Drawing Sets

Complete permit sets organized the way plan reviewers expect to receive them.

Scope

Cover sheet and code data, sheet indexing, egress documentation, site and context sheets.

Deliverables

Jurisdiction-organized permit package, ready for upload; supporting code-data sheets.

Typical pace

2–4 weeks depending on scope and jurisdiction checklist completeness.

Licensed review?

We confirm the local checklist during consultation and flag anything needing a licensed review.

03

Structural Drawings & Engineering Coordination

Structural documentation coordinated for review and, where required, sealing by a licensed professional.

Scope

Foundations, framing, connections, and structural schedules coordinated across disciplines.

Deliverables

Structural drawing set plus coordination callouts connecting structural, MEP, and architectural.

Typical pace

2–4 weeks for standard residential; larger commercial scopes need more lead time.

Licensed review?

Required for sealing; we coordinate with the licensed engineer of record for that step.

04

MEP Drawings

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing layouts coordinated across disciplines so systems don't collide.

Scope

Equipment and layout plans, electrical plans and schedules, plumbing and fixture documentation.

Deliverables

Coordinated MEP drawings with cross-discipline callouts and system schematics where needed.

Typical pace

2–4 weeks; depends on discipline scope and client input speed.

Licensed review?

Electrical details often need licensed review or approval in commercial jurisdictions.

05

Life Safety & Code Documentation

Life-safety documentation that answers plan-check questions around egress, occupancy, and fire safety up front.

Scope

Egress and occupancy plans, life-safety diagrams, exit routes, alarm and smoke-control references.

Deliverables

Life-safety documentation package with code references and a compliance summary for reviewers.

Typical pace

1–2 weeks for standard scopes.

Licensed review?

We flag where a licensed professional's documentation is required for the occupancy type.

06

CAD Drafting, Revisions & As-Built Plans

Precise CAD drafting for revisions, redline incorporation, and as-built documentation of what was actually constructed.

Scope

Redline and revision updates, correction-notice responses, as-built documentation of the finished work.

Deliverables

Revised DWG/PDF sheets, fully annotated as-builts, and deliverables organized for the next phase of the project.

Typical pace

5–10 business days for standard revisions; rush timelines available.

Licensed review?

Not usually required for drafting revisions unless the jurisdiction requires it for the scope.

02 / What we deliver

Every set includes the documentation reviewers expect

A consistent package, not a folder of loose sheets.

1

Complete, indexed sheets

Every sheet carries the necessary code data, project details, and sheet indexing your jurisdiction's plan review staff expects to see.

2

Coordinated details

Cross-discipline callouts connect structural, MEP, and architectural drawings before submittal — not after a correction notice.

3

Clear revision workflow

Plan-check comments are answered with tracked corrections, updated sheets, and a clean resubmittal package.

03 / Boundaries & compliance

Drafting support with licensed review where needed

Metricly prepares and coordinates documentation. Certain scopes require review, sealing, or approval by a licensed architect or professional engineer — we flag those before work starts and coordinate with the licensed professional of record.

LICENSED REVIEW

When licensed review is required

Sealing and approval are within the jurisdiction of licensed architects and professional engineers. Where your project needs that step, we coordinate with the licensed professional of record rather than trying to substitute for it.

COORDINATED DELIVERY

What you can expect

A complete, well-organized, coordinated submittal package that respects the reviewer's time — plus responsive support for plan-check comments and resubmittals.

PERMIT APPROVAL

What remains with the authority

We never guarantee permit approval — every submission is subject to review by the authority having jurisdiction. Requests for approval, licensing, or legal advice are referred to the appropriate licensed professionals.

Every project starts with a clear scope and quote

Send your plans, sketches, or jurisdiction comments. We'll review the requirements and come back with a written scope — including whether licensed review applies.
