The Situation

A Project on Hold at Plan Check

The project started with hand-drawn plans. The city returned plan-check comments, the project was on hold, and the contractor needed it moving again quickly.

What We Did

We redrew the full permit set from scratch: cover sheet and site plan, general notes, existing and proposed floor plans, and electrical. The new set answered every plan-check comment, documented the bedroom's egress with exact clear-opening dimensions, and added a non-bearing wall detail. For the one comment that needed engineering, we coordinated directly with the contractor's engineer.

The Result

Permit approved by the City of San Ramon. The same contractor also hired us for a second remodel.

What the Contractor Said ★★★★★
“We’ve used Andalusia Drafting for two projects now and both went really well. Younes was fast, organized and easy to work with. Plans came back on time, questions were answered quickly, and the plan check revisions were turned around without any delays. Efficient, responsive and dependable. We’ll definitely be using them again!”
