Three things: your architectural drawings, scope of work, and the system type(s)/no. of system(s) used in your project.

Yes—we offer stamped structural calculations and PE-reviewed shop drawings through our vetted engineering partners. That means one seamless solution for both drafting and engineering, handled under one roof.

To get started, we’ll need:

• Shop drawings – Related to the engineering scope (we can provide or review these)

• Delegated design scope – Clearly defined

• Architectural drawings – For context and coordination

• Structural drawings – If available (not required but recommended)

• 08 8000 spec – Project-specific glazing and framing standards

Stamped calculations and drawings are available even without structural plans or specs. Our engineers will apply standard assumptions unless specific criteria are provided. For best results, include any available structural documentation.

Already have shop drawings? No problem—we can provide engineering as a standalone service, or bundle it as part of our shop drawing packages.

Have questions or ready to move forward? Reach out—we’ll walk you through it.

Included Revisions apply to changes that do not involve adding new scope of work or modifying an existing system within a completed shop drawing set. This ensures flexibility for minor adjustments without additional costs.

For Included Revisions, please be aware that any change requests made after the revision validity date—which was provided to you at the time of your initial submittal—will be classified as Billable Revisions.

Billable Revisions are revisions that involve scope additions, system changes, or exceed the number of Included Revisions in your selected package are considered Billable Revisions. These are billed at an hourly rate of $95 per hour to account for the additional drafting time required.
