May 2024 - Dec 2024 • 7 mos
Specialized in preparing and reviewing building permit packages and structural documentation for residential and commercial construction projects across the United States and international markets. Responsible for creating complete permit-ready drawing sets, including structural plans, foundation layouts, framing plans, site plans, elevation coordination, and construction documentation required for city and county approval. Ensure all documents meet local building codes, zoning regulations, and engineering compliance standards, improving approval speed and reducing revision requests from authorities. Work includes structural drawing correction, permit plan review, engineering report preparation, and code compliance verification for architects, builders, homeowners, and developers. I also assist clients in fixing rejected permit drawings by identifying errors, improving structural clarity, and ensuring compliance with IBC/IRC requirements and municipal guidelines, helping projects move quickly toward approval and construction.
