Your Project Journey
What Is a Permit Package?
A Permit Package helps homeowners navigate the process of obtaining city approval for their ADU project. Building a backyard home requires official city approval (called a "permit") before construction can begin. A Permit Package combines engineering coordination, document preparation, city communication, revision management, and permit support — helping move your project from approved plans toward a building permit.
Understand the Difference
Permit-Ready Plans
"I manage the process."
You receive PE-stamped engineering drawings. You (or your contractor) submit them to the city, respond to city comments, manage revisions, and coordinate with the building department throughout the process.

What Most Homeowners Don't Realize
Getting permit-ready plans is only the beginning. The permitting process itself — submitting, responding to city comments, managing revisions, resubmitting — typically takes 3–9 months and involves multiple rounds of back-and-forth with your building department.
Most homeowners try to manage this themselves, underestimate the complexity, and end up with costly delays, missed correction deadlines, and drawn-out resubmission cycles.
The Complete Permit Package exists so that none of that lands on you.
What You Get Back
Your time — no more waiting on hold with the city
Your confidence — one expert manages your project
Your momentum — submission within 30 days
Your focus — on building, not bureaucracy
The Cost of DIY Permitting
Each month of permit delay = $1,400–$2,400 in rental income you're not earning. A 3-month delay costs you $4,200–$7,200. The Permit Package often pays for itself in time saved alone.
Not Included in the Package Fee:
·Permit office fees and city fees
·Utility connection fees
·Surveys and geotechnical reports
·Septic design
·Civil engineering beyond included scope
·Third-party consultant costs
These costs are paid directly to the applicable agencies and are separate from the QuiPlans service fee.
The Real Difference
You're Not Just Buying Drawings.
You're Hiring Experience.
Many homeowners discover that obtaining permit approval is not primarily a drawing problem. It is a coordination problem. The Complete Permit Package is designed for homeowners who want experienced support navigating the process — rather than managing every step themselves.

Submit plans yourself.
Manage city comments yourself.

Permitting is not a drawing problem. It's a coordination problem.
