Design entitlement packages, drafting, construction documents and permitting
I am happy to provide more portfolio examples upon request that align more closely the project you have in mind. I have a large library of construction documentation package examples.
I have big and small firm construction documentation experience, preparing plans and submittals for building permits. This includes submitting the required project submittals to the governing bodies and approval agencies.
I have 15 years AutoCAD experience and am available for all types of drafting services.
As an experienced project manager, I am well versed in navigating the steps involved with project design approval (entitlements) and permitting. This can be a complex and case specific process with jurisdiction specific requirements and codes in play. Guiding a project from concept to reality involves careful code research up front, meetings with city planners and the public, and responding to community or regulatory feedback along the way.
Once the various layers of design approval are satisfied with the city or county, the more detailed construction documentation process and work towards a building permit begins.
My experience navigating these approval processes enables me to advise clients on their goals and help them plan for the duration of a project. I strive to maintain good relationships with the various approval bodies and advocate for our goals by maintaining active and friendly communication channels.
Over the years I have learned to communicate with contractors as early on in the process as possible to make the transition from drawings to built reality as efficient as possible. I understand the importance of working with the contractor to keep costs low for the client, while simultaneously preserving the level of quality and architectural intent that will best serve the clients needs. If you are a contractor and need services, I would love to hear from you too.
