Permitting
Interior Remodel Packages
Permit-ready documentation for kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home interior remodel projects.
Permitting
Interior remodel permit packages cover the full drawing documentation required to permit kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home interior remodel projects. We produce existing and proposed floor plans, finish and fixture schedules, electrical and lighting plans, and any structural or MEP coordination drawings required by the project scope. Every package is built to the specific documentation requirements of the applicable jurisdiction and the permit trigger thresholds of the remodel scope.

How We Work
From intake to permit-ready drawings.
01
Existing Conditions Documentation
We document the existing floor plan, fixture locations, wall conditions, and relevant MEP rough-in locations as the baseline for the proposed scope. Accuracy at this stage prevents plan check corrections from undocumented existing conditions.
02
Proposed Scope Drawing
The proposed remodel is drawn in full, showing new wall locations, cabinetry footprints, fixture locations, finish zones, and any structural changes. Demolished and new work are clearly differentiated.
03
MEP and Electrical Coordination
Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical changes are noted on the drawings. For kitchen and bath remodels, fixture circuit assignments, GFCI locations, ventilation, and plumbing rough-in dimensions are documented to permit requirements.
04
Package Assembly
All sheets are assembled into a jurisdiction-specific submission package with a complete title sheet, code summary, and all required supplemental forms.
Deliverables
What every package includes.
Existing and Proposed Floor Plans
Side-by-side documentation of existing conditions and proposed scope showing all demolished work, new construction, and unchanged elements.
Reflected Ceiling Plan
Ceiling layout showing light fixture locations, junction boxes, ventilation openings, and ceiling material changes where required by scope.
Kitchen or Bath Elevation Drawings
Interior wall elevations for kitchen and bathroom remodels showing cabinet height, tile zones, fixture locations, and finish material extents.
Electrical and Lighting Plan
Electrical layout showing circuit assignments, outlet locations, GFCI zones, switch locations, and fixture types per jurisdiction requirements.
Plumbing Fixture Schedule
Fixture schedule with specified fixtures, rough-in dimensions, water supply and drain sizes, and ventilation requirements.
Title Sheet and Code Summary
Project identification, scope description, applicable codes, and all required regulatory summary information.
Why It Matters
Kitchen and bathroom remodel permits are among the highest-volume permit applications at most building departments, and they generate a disproportionate share of plan check corrections because incomplete documentation is common. A complete package with proper MEP coordination and code references passes faster.
Common Questions
Frequently asked.
What remodel scopes actually require a permit?
Any work that involves structural changes, electrical panel modifications, plumbing rough-in changes, or HVAC alterations requires a permit in most jurisdictions. Cosmetic changes (paint, flooring, cabinet refacing) typically do not. We clarify the permit trigger at intake based on your specific scope and jurisdiction.
Do you handle load-bearing wall removal?
Yes, with structural coordination. Load-bearing wall removal requires engineer input and a structural drawing showing the beam sizing and connection details. Our structural coordination service manages this integration.
Can you document existing conditions remotely?
Yes, with your provided measurements, photographs, and any available city records. We document on the title sheet that existing conditions are based on owner-furnished measurements. Most jurisdictions accept this for interior remodel scopes.
