Who This Services Is For

Florida architectural permit drawings are commonly required for residential and commercial projects where detailed building documentation is needed for permit review.

New Single-Family Homes and Small Residential Buildings

Architectural permit drawings help document the proposed building layout, room arrangement, exterior appearance, dimensions, and construction details required for new residential projects.

Home Additions, Second-Floor Additions and Interior Alterations

Projects involving additional living space, expanded rooms, second-floor additions, or interior modifications may require architectural drawings showing existing conditions, proposed layouts, and the scope of the planned changes.

Detached Garages, Attached Garages and Garage Conversions

Garage projects often require architectural drawings that clearly show the proposed use, dimensions, layouts, exterior changes, and building modifications needed for permit submission.

ADUs, Guest Houses and Garage-to-Living-Space Conversions

Accessory dwelling units, guest houses, and converted living spaces require organized architectural documentation showing room layouts, building changes, and project details for review.

Deck, Porch, Patio-Cover and Screen-Enclosure Projects

Outdoor structures that require architectural sheets may need drawings showing location, dimensions, construction details, and how the proposed improvement connects with the existing property.

Commercial Tenant Improvements and Change-of-Use Projects

Commercial projects such as interior build-outs, tenant improvements, and occupancy changes require coordinated architectural drawings addressing existing conditions, proposed modifications, accessibility requirements, and permit documentation.

Simple Steps

What We Need From You

To prepare accurate Florida architectural permit drawings, we need project information and available documentation that helps define the existing conditions and proposed work. Please provide:

01

Property address and permitting jurisdiction.

02

Clear description of the proposed project, including the type of construction, renovation, or modification planned.

03

Existing architectural plans, previous drawings, or available documentation if applicable.

04

Field measurements, sketches, or as-built information when existing drawings are unavailable.

05

Interior and exterior photos to help verify existing building conditions.

06

Design requirements, including room sizes, layouts, doors, windows, roof preferences, and intended use of the space.

07

Survey or site information when the building footprint, setbacks, or property conditions affect the project.

08

Permit comments or correction notices if the project is already under review.

A CLEAR, SIX-STEP PROCESS

How The Process Works

Review Existing Building Information and Project Goals

We review the available project information, existing conditions, design requirements, and permit objectives to understand the scope of work.

Confirm Required Architectural Sheets

We determine the architectural drawings needed for the project and identify whether additional disciplines such as structural, MEP, or site drawings are required.

Prepare the Proposed Layout

We develop the proposed floor plans, dimensions, and building layouts based on the approved project scope.

Develop Elevations, Roof Plans, Sections, and Details

Our team prepares the required architectural documentation, including elevations, roof information, sections, and construction details when applicable.

Coordinate Related Project Information

When included in the project scope, architectural drawings are coordinated with site plans, structural drawings, and MEP documentation to create a more complete permit package.

Final Review and Delivery

After completing the agreed revisions, we provide the final architectural permit drawing package in the selected format for review and submission.

Real Florida Project Experience

Doral, Florida — Commercial Change of Use / Interior Alteration

The 7700 NW 56th St, Doral project involved a warehouse-to-specialty beverage and retail interior build-out with a change of occupancy.The architectural drawing package included a cover sheet, site plan, site details, first and second-floor plans, four exterior elevations, ADA bathroom details, and coordination with MEP and life-safety sheets.This project demonstrates that commercial architectural permit drawings require more than a basic floor plan. They often involve existing building conditions, occupancy considerations, accessibility requirements, and coordination between multiple project disciplines.

Important Scope Notes

Architectural drawing requirements vary depending on the project type, building use, location, and permitting jurisdiction.

Structural engineering, MEP design, energy documentation, and professional seals are separate scopes unless specifically included in the project agreement.

Existing conditions should be based on reliable measurements, surveys, as-built drawings, or field information provided by the client or contractor.

Some projects may require additional documentation, calculations, or professional review depending on local permit requirements.

Permit approval decisions are made by the applicable building department. SitePlansFL prepares organized, permit-focused drawings based on the agreed project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a Florida architectural permit set?

A typical architectural permit set may include a cover sheet, existing and demolition plans, proposed floor plans, roof plans, exterior elevations, building sections, wall sections, schedules, construction details, and permit notes.

The exact drawing requirements depend on the project type, location, and permitting authority.

Do you prepare architectural plans for additions and remodels?

Yes. We prepare architectural permit drawings for additions, remodels, renovations, and other residential improvement projects.

The drawing package may include existing conditions, proposed layouts, demolition information, elevations, sections, and coordination with other disciplines when required.

Can you prepare garage or ADU drawings?

Yes. Detached garages, attached garages, garage conversions, ADUs, and guest houses are common architectural permit drawing projects.

Depending on the scope, additional site plans, structural drawings, and MEP drawings may also be required.

Can you work from sketches or measurements?

Yes, when the available information is sufficient for the project scope.

We may request additional dimensions, photographs, existing drawings, or verification information before completing the final permit drawing package.

Do you provide construction details?

Yes. Construction details can be included when they are required to explain the proposed construction and permit scope.

Structural connection details and engineering-related documentation are coordinated separately when required.

Do you prepare garage, deck, porch and metal-building plans?

Yes. These are clearly supported service categories. The package may include site planning, architectural layouts, foundation/framing details, MEP and engineering review depending on the project.

Are structural drawings included with architectural permit drawings?

Not automatically.

Structural drawings are a separate discipline and may be required for foundations, framing, beams, headers, load calculations, and structural modifications.

Are MEP drawings included?

Not automatically.

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings can be added as a coordinated MEP scope when required for the project.

Can you revise architectural plans after city comments?

Yes. We can update architectural drawings for review comments that fall within the original project scope.

Comments requiring additional engineering, surveying, redesign, or professional certification may require a separate scope review.

How much do the services cost?

Simple site plans start from $89. Other starting prices are shown on this page, but final pricing depends on project size, jurisdiction, available source information, engineering and number of disciplines.

Do you guarantee permit approval?

No. Permit approval is controlled by the reviewing authority.

Our role is to prepare clear, organized, permit-focused architectural drawings and address reasonable comments within the agreed scope.
