Process
How every project moves from scope to permit.
A structured four-step system designed to eliminate surprises and keep your project on schedule from first submission to final approval.
The Workflow
Four stages. One production system.
Every CADTRI project runs through the same workflow regardless of size or complexity. The system is built to surface problems early, keep communication clear, and deliver a permit-ready set that does not require rework.
Inquiry and Scope Review
Send us your project details: location, project type, scope description, and any existing documentation you have. We review what you have sent, identify which services apply, and confirm the full scope of deliverables, timeline, and fee before any work begins. No ambiguity at the start means no surprises mid-project.
Outcome
Signed scope of work and confirmed project timeline.
Document Review and Jurisdiction Research
Before drafting begins, we review any existing drawings, site surveys, or prior permit documentation. We research the submission requirements specific to the applicable jurisdiction: checklist items, plan sheet standards, code versions in effect, and common plan check triggers for the project type. Issues identified here do not become corrections later.
Outcome
Confirmed documentation set and jurisdiction requirements on file.
Production and Coordination
Your permit set is produced to the verified jurisdiction standards. Architectural sheets are drafted, structural drawings are coordinated if required, supplemental documentation is assembled, and the complete package is reviewed internally before delivery. You receive a permit-ready set, not a draft requiring further work on your end.
Outcome
Complete, coordinated permit set delivered and ready for submission.
Submission Support and Follow-Through
The completed package is delivered in your required format for permit submission. We remain available throughout the plan review period to address comments, prepare correction responses, and support resubmission if needed. The engagement is not closed until the permit is issued.
Outcome
Permit issued. Correction response support included throughout.
