Architectural Plans & Permit Drawings

• New residential construction — single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes • Home additions — second stories, rear additions, side extensions, garage additions • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) — detached and attached • Remodels — kitchen, bathroom, whole-home renovations • Basement finishes — egress, ceiling height, and moisture compliance • Garage conversions — change of use from garage to living space • Decks, patios, and covered outdoor structures • Light commercial tenant improvements and build-outs • Change-of-use conversions requiring building department review

A complete architectural plan set typically includes: • Site plan showing property lines, setbacks, and existing/proposed structures • Floor plans at appropriate scale with dimensions, room labels, and area calculations • Exterior elevations — all four sides with heights, materials, and grade lines • Building sections and wall sections showing construction assemblies • Foundation plan (coordinated with structural engineering) • Floor framing plan or roof framing plan (as applicable) • Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical layouts (where required) • Construction details — connections, flashings, insulation, egress • Energy code compliance documentation • Title 24 / IECC compliance forms (as required by jurisdiction)

All architectural plans are prepared to comply with the current International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), and your local jurisdiction's amendments. Colorado municipalities have varying requirements for egress, energy efficiency, snow load design, and fire protection — we track these requirements so your plans are accepted on the first submission. We have extensive experience with building departments across Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and 20+ other Colorado jurisdictions, understanding their specific plan formats, submission portals, and review criteria.
