Licensed Architect | Permit Drawings, Residential Plans & Code Review

I help homeowners, contractors, and developers get their projects permit-ready and approved — without delays, rework, or back-and-forth with the city. I’m a licensed architect (RA, NCARB) working in Florida and Georgia, specializing in code-compliant plans, permitting, and signing/sealing services. Whether you need a full plan set, revisions for approval, or a final review and stamp, I focus on making sure your project moves forward smoothly. Most of my clients bring me in when they need: • Plans corrected for permit approval • Code compliance issues resolved quickly • A clean, coordinated set ready for submission • A licensed architect to review, finalize, and seal drawings I regularly work with builders, contractors, developers, and engineers to produce permit-ready construction drawings that are clear, coordinated, and aligned with local building codes. My experience includes: • Permit plan sets for residential and commercial projects • Code compliance review and plan updates • Construction documentation and detailing • QA/QC drawing review to reduce construction issues • Architectural consulting and project coordination • Updating existing plans to meet local building codes My background includes working directly with contractors, engineers, and jurisdictions to ensure drawings move efficiently through permitting and into construction. I am directly responsible for all drawings I stamp — I do not outsource. I’m detail-oriented, responsive, and focused on producing drawings that minimize review comments and construction issues. Typical project ranges: • Plan review / stamping: $500 – $1,200 • Residential permit sets: $1,500 – $4,000+ • Larger or multi-scope projects: custom pricing Available for both hourly consulting and project-based work.
