Learn MoreColorado Permitting & Engineering Process
A step-by-step guide to getting your project permitted in Colorado, Colorado. Our team handles steps 1–4 so you receive a complete, submission-ready permit package.
1. Define Project Scope & Requirements
Your first step is to clearly define what you're building or modifying. Our team helps you identify which permits Colorado's building department will require and what level of engineering documentation is needed — whether it's a simple beam calculation or a full set of PE-stamped architectural and structural plans.
2. Engineering Analysis & Plan Preparation
Our licensed engineers perform all necessary structural calculations, load analysis, and code compliance checks per Colorado building code, local amendments, and the International Building Code (IBC) / International Residential Code (IRC). We prepare detailed, permit-ready drawings with clear dimensions, material specifications, and construction details.
3. PE Stamp & Seal
Every engineering document is reviewed and stamped by a Colorado-licensed Professional Engineer (License #PE.0060665). The PE stamp certifies that the design meets all applicable Colorado engineering standards and building code requirements — this is what Colorado's building department requires for structural permit submittals.
4. Submit to Colorado's Building Department
We deliver a complete, submission-ready permit package including stamped engineering calculations, architectural drawings (if applicable), and supporting documentation. You or your contractor submit the package to Colorado's building department for plan review. We're available to answer any engineering-related questions that arise during the review.
5. Plan Review & Comments
Colorado's plan reviewers examine the submittal for code compliance. Review timelines vary but typically take 1–4 weeks. If the reviewer issues comments, we address them promptly at no additional charge — this is part of our standard service. Our familiarity with Colorado's review process helps minimize back-and-forth.
6. Permit Issued — Begin Construction
Once the building department approves the plans and issues the permit, construction can begin. Your contractor builds according to the approved, stamped plans. During construction, the building department may perform inspections (footing, framing, final) to verify that the work matches the approved plans.
Colorado-Specific Engineering & Code Considerations
Our engineers are deeply familiar with the unique structural, geotechnical, and regulatory factors that affect projects in Colorado and across Colorado.
Snow Load Requirements
Colorado and surrounding areas fall within specific snow load zones as defined by the Colorado Structural Design Criteria. Ground snow loads vary by elevation and municipality — our calculations include the correct snow load for your exact location per the governing code edition adopted by Colorado.
Expansive & Collapsible Soils
Much of Colorado has expansive clay soils that can cause foundation movement. Colorado's building department may require specific foundation designs, soil reports, or geotechnical investigations depending on the project scope and site conditions. We coordinate foundation engineering with these requirements.
Wind & Seismic Design
Colorado is in a specific wind zone and seismic design category per ASCE 7 and the IBC/IRC. Our structural calculations account for the appropriate wind speeds and seismic factors for your exact location to ensure code-compliant lateral design.
Energy Code Compliance
Colorado has adopted energy codes that affect structural design — including insulation requirements, fenestration limits, and air barrier details. Our plans integrate these requirements so your project meets all applicable energy provisions.
Historic District Considerations
If your property is in a historic district within Colorado, additional review by the historic preservation board may be required. Our engineering approach can be adapted to preserve historic character while meeting modern structural and safety requirements.
All engineering work complies with the current adopted edition of the International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), ASCE 7, and applicable Colorado local amendments.
