FAQs — California Site Plans

Clear answers about permit-ready site plans in California. Requirements vary by city and county—we align with your local checklist.

Are your site plans accepted in California?
Yes. Our plans are accepted across California’s 58 counties and major cities. Acceptance depends on project scope and each jurisdiction’s checklist; we tailor formatting and content accordingly.
Do I need a licensed surveyor?
Not for most residential or light commercial permits. Our non-certified site plans are commonly accepted. If your project requires engineering (e.g., grading, structural, floodplain), your city may ask for stamped documents—we’ll flag this if applicable.
How fast can I get my plan?
Standard delivery is within 24 hours of confirmation. Rush service under 12 hours is available with our Elite package, subject to scope and submittal complexity.
Can you draft ADU site plans?
Yes. We frequently prepare ADU site plans, including setbacks, access, utilities, and lot coverage, aligned with California ADU provisions and local city templates.
What formats do you deliver?
PDF, JPG, and DWG—optimized for online upload or in-person submittal. Additional formats are available upon request.
What if my city requests changes or rejects the plan?
We include unlimited revisions toward compliance. Share the reviewer’s comments, and we’ll update the plan to address each item.
Do you create subdivision or parcel split plans?
Yes. We prepare preliminary layouts for parcel splits and subdivisions, including access, easements, and utilities, aligned with planning board submittal standards.
Can you show topography and setbacks?
Yes. Topographic contours and legal setbacks are available in our Elite plan or as add-ons where jurisdictions require them (e.g., hillside lots).
Do you also offer floor plans and elevations?
Yes. See our Floor Plans and Elevation Plans for permit-ready deliverables.
Do you work with contractors and developers?
Absolutely. We serve homeowners, contractors, investors, and developers across California on residential, commercial, and subdivision projects.
