Additions and remodels
Room additions, garage conversions, kitchen and bath remodels, and the structural work that comes with them.
Service areas
Orlando engineering and permit plans.
Orlando is one of our main service areas. We prepare plans for additions, remodels, enclosures, and small commercial projects, with site visits available when existing conditions need a closer look. We also help owners and contractors address permit comments.
Enclosures and porches
Screen enclosures, lanais, carports, and covered patios, including the attachments reviewers want to see.
Small commercial
Build-outs, change of use, MEP coordination, and life-safety sheets for shops, offices, and service spaces.
Permit problems
Correction notices, after-the-fact work, missed inspections, and the letters that get a file moving again.
Our Orlando experience
From home additions to commercial alterations.
Our Orlando work spans several years and a few dozen projects. Most of them are residential: additions, enclosures, and remodels. The rest are commercial, from small office build-outs to warehouse alterations.
Together they add up to hundreds of sealed drawings and plan sets, plus the review responses that went with them.
Documentation is the usual problem
In the Orlando and Orange County review files we keep, the most common comments ask for something that was never shown: a detail, a schedule, or a note about what already exists.
Surveys come up often
Survey, plat, and easement references appear in a large share of the local comments we answer, especially on anything that touches the lot.
Responses address the specific code question
When a reviewer cites a code section, we address the question with the relevant drawing, calculation, or supporting explanation.
Revisions need to be visible
We mark revisions with clouds and notes so the reviewer can find what changed since the previous submittal.
Site visits
Site visits for existing conditions.
Orlando is one of the areas where site visits are part of normal service. That matters most when the question is about what is already built: covered framing, an old enclosure, or work someone else started.
When a visit helps
- After-the-fact permits where the work is standing and needs documenting
- Additions and remodels where the existing structure drives the design
- Missed inspections where access and observation decide the path forward
- Repair questions that cannot be resolved from photos alone
- Anything a reviewer flagged that needs a second look in person
Some projects can be documented from photos, a survey, and the permit record. We review those first and let you know whether an in-person visit is needed.
Common questions
Planning a project in Orlando.
Is my project in the city or the county?
It depends on the address, and sometimes on which side of the line a subdivision sits. Send the property address and we will work from whichever jurisdiction issues the permit.
Do you take small projects?
Yes. We regularly handle single beam details, engineering letters, and other small projects for homeowners and contractors.
Can you pick up a project someone else started?
Often, yes. Send the current drawings and the comments you have received. We will tell you what can be used and what needs to be redrawn.

Start a project
Send the address and a description of the project.
Photos help, and so does anything the building department has already sent you. If a permit is open, include the number.
