Real reviews from real customers who got their permits approved.
"Got the plan back in 32 hours. City of Tampa approved my deck permit on the first submission. The setback dimensions they drew were exactly what the reviewer was looking for. Saved me from paying a surveyor $650."
"My HOA needed a site plan before they would approve the new fence. I tried to draw one myself and the architectural committee laughed. Ordered the Standard tier here, had it Tuesday morning, approved Wednesday afternoon. Worth every penny."
"I am a contractor and I order plans here for clients who do not have surveys. Always accurate, always fast. The DWG file in the Premium tier is perfect for my CAD workflow. About 40 plans ordered now, zero rejections."
"The county wanted a site plan with the proposed shed and impervious calculations. Premium tier had everything they asked for in one PDF. Building dept said it was one of the cleanest residential plans they had seen that week."
"First reviewer asked for setback labels added. Emailed back, had the revision in 6 hours, no charge. Clean, professional, fast. Would have spent weeks waiting for a surveyor."
"Honestly the easiest part of my whole patio permit process. Filled out the form Sunday night, woke up Tuesday to a finished PDF in my inbox. Permit approved that Friday. Cannot recommend enough."

Most building departments require a site plan showing the proposed project drawn on the lot as part of any permit application. This includes decks, sheds, garages, fences, and patios.
Homeowners associations frequently require a site plan showing the proposed project location before approving any exterior construction or modification.
Zoning permits, separate from building permits in many jurisdictions, typically require a site plan to verify compliance with land use regulations and setback requirements.
A site plan helps your contractor understand the full scope of the project in relation to your property before work begins. Reduces surprises and disputes during construction.
Every order includes free revisions. If your reviewer asks for specific changes, contact us and we update the plan at no additional cost, usually within one business day. Premium orders include unlimited revisions. If for some reason your jurisdiction will not accept the plan even after revisions, we refund your order in full within 30 days.

Yes. Every plan includes your proposed project drawn and dimensioned in its correct position on the lot. This is included in all tiers, not sold as an add on. You provide the project dimensions and planned location during checkout and we draw it onto the plan.
Every plan includes property lines, primary structure roofline, lot dimensions, north arrow, scale, parcel ID, driveway, and your proposed project drawn and dimensioned on the plan. Higher tiers add existing property detail such as trees, sidewalks, accessory structures, impervious surface calculations, topographic contour lines, and setback dimensions labeled on the plan.
Basic plans within 48 hours. Standard within 36 hours. Premium within 24 hours. Average across all orders this year is 31 hours. Turnaround starts when you submit your property details, not when you choose your tier.
No. We use county GIS data and high resolution satellite imagery to plot your property boundaries and existing structures. A survey is not required. If you do happen to have an existing survey, you can upload it during checkout to improve accuracy. Note that property lines on our plans are based on GIS data, not legally certified. If your jurisdiction specifically requires a stamped certified survey, you will need a licensed surveyor.
Our plans are not stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer or Architect. Most residential building permits for decks, fences, sheds, patios, and small garages do not require a stamp, but some jurisdictions and project types do. Confirm with your local building department before ordering if you are unsure. If yours does need a stamp, contact us and we can refer you to a stamping partner. A stamped plan from a local PE typically runs several hundred dollars on top of the drawing.
Basic and Standard orders include PDF and JPG files, ready to print or upload to your permit portal. Premium orders also include a DWG file, the standard format used by engineers and CAD software. Everything is delivered by email.
A survey is a legally certified document prepared by a licensed land surveyor that establishes exact property boundaries. A site plan is a scaled drawing used for permit applications that shows existing structures and the proposed project in relation to the property. Property lines on our plans are approximate based on GIS data. If your jurisdiction requires a certified survey specifically, you will need to hire a licensed surveyor in your state.
