Standard Turnaround Times
For most residential structural projects, we deliver PE-stamped plans in 48-72 hours. This includes load-bearing wall removal engineering, foundation designs for additions, beam sizing, and deck/patio engineering. The timeline assumes we have the necessary project information (existing plans, photos, measurements) at the start.
Commercial Project Timelines
Commercial structural plans typically take 1-2 weeks depending on complexity. Factors include building size, structural system type (steel, concrete, wood), wind and seismic analysis requirements, and coordination with architectural plans. We provide clear timelines upfront and keep you informed throughout the process.
What Affects the Timeline?
Several factors can affect how long your engineering plans take: project complexity (simple beam design vs. full structural system), whether a site visit/inspection is needed first, how quickly existing plans and measurements are provided, city-specific code requirements, and revision requests from the building department. We work to minimize delays by requesting all necessary information upfront.
Rush and Expedited Service
We offer rush service for urgent projects. If you have a permit deadline, a stop work order, or a time-sensitive real estate transaction, call us at (833) 598-1772 and we'll prioritize your project. Same-day assessments are available for emergency situations. Don't wait until the last minute — call early so we can plan the fastest path to your permit-ready plans.
