Residential Architectural Drawings
We purchased a home to rent and needed to remove an entry hallway wall and attached archway. The permit required full drawings of the home. Roberto finished the measurements in one business day and the drawings were completed and submitted to the permit office in 10 business days. He was very thorough and responded quickly to questions and concerns I had.
The permit office required an engineer stamp as there was a possible load baring wall. We were warned of this possbility in advance and contacted Roberto who then contacted his structural engineer and the issue was resolved quickly and competently at a reasonable cost.
We also ended up installing a bathroom during the renovation and needed the drawings updated to reflect the changes. Our contractor sent Roberto the measurements and he updated our drawings and resubmitted them to the permit office within the week.
It was a good experience all around as it was my first time working with an architect and with the permit office and I had many questions and concerns and I felt supported through the entire process.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences with Valente CAD Studio. We are delighted to read that you felt supported through the entire building permit process with our help. When a house is built with old lumber sizes which are not used nowadays, the City examiner requires that an engineer checks that the span of floor joists is appropriate to transfer safely the loads to the foundation walls, so in this project this step was required. We hope you will enjoy it for many years after renovation is done, and will think of us when you have another residential project in mind.
