Permit Approvals
We provide the complete set of Construction Documents for your permit applications and approvals. They are a vital piece of the process of submitting to your city building department.
We tailor a set of plans to meet the needs of each project, whether your need a minimal permit approval set or a highly detailed and descriptive set. Clear, complete and accurate Construction Documents expedite approvals, bidding and construction. Construction Documents are the basis for construction contracts.
Architectural Detailing
Some projects demand an exceptional level of quality, detail, and coordination. Our firm has the experience to visualize, design and execute fine architectural detailing as it applies to exacting demands. This can include:
architectural highlights
roof eaves
crowns and moldings
exterior cast trim
carved stone
stairways and railings
floor patterns and finishes
cabinetry
tile layout

For this bathroom remodel, we designed the tile details and provided precise illustrations for the installers to follow.
This beautiful curving staircase was designed by Young and Borlik for a French country style estate in Atherton.
