Plans, permits, and the path between them.
Northstone covers the full arc of residential and commercial planning — homes, additions, and ADUs alongside restaurant and retail work, from the first measured drawing to the building department's final stamp. Each service is built to keep your project moving.
Residential Plans
A complete drawing set — site plan, floor plans, elevations, and sections — coordinated so a plan reviewer has nothing to question. Every sheet is dimensioned, labeled, and built around the constraints of your parcel.
- Site & floor plans
- Exterior elevations
- Building sections
- Code-compliance review
Drafting
Clean, legible drafting that turns a rough sketch or an architect's intent into a buildable document. We draw to scale, annotate to standard, and keep every sheet internally consistent.
- Construction-ready linework
- Dimensioning & annotation
- Detail callouts
- Sheet-set coordination
Permit Assistance
Permitting is where most projects stall. We prepare the full submittal package, file with the building department, and track the application so it never sits quietly in a queue.
- Submittal package prep
- Jurisdiction filing
- Application tracking
- Fee & timeline guidance
Remodel & Additions
Additions live or die on how honestly they account for what's already there. We document the existing structure, then draw the new work so it connects without surprises in the field.
- Existing-conditions survey
- Addition & remodel plans
- Structural coordination
- Phasing notes
Approval Support
When a plan check comes back with comments, we respond directly — revising drawings, clarifying details, and resubmitting until the building department signs off.
- Plan-check responses
- Drawing revisions
- Reviewer coordination
- Resubmittal management
