“Permit-ready in a week instead of a month. David caught two tabulation errors before submission that would have bounced us. Worth every dollar.”— Custom Home Builder, Anna Maria Island
Drafting companies are good, but they make mistakes regularly — and a missed setback or an over-the-line lot coverage number is a rejected permit. We review area tabulations, lot coverage and impervious-surface ratios, Living Area Ratio caps, setbacks, parking counts per bedroom, ADA access, handrails, and daylight-plane requirements against the actual zoning code.
On a recent City of Holmes Beach lot, the LAR cap was 2,323 sq ft and the plans came in at 2,322.86 — that's the level of precision that gets a permit issued instead of bounced. We verify it before the engineer stamps, when a fix is cheap.
Every exterior material also needs a state-approved NOA from Miami-Dade — roofing, windows, doors, siding, gutters. We confirm each one shows the right wind-load ratings and a licensed engineer's signature, so the building official has nothing to flag.
This is also where money gets saved: stacking plumbing, mirroring kitchens and baths, and sizing for impact fees are decisions made during design, not after. We're in the room before permit management begins.
A single tabulation error — lot coverage over 35%, an LAR cap missed by a few square feet — restarts the entire review cycle.
