For projects that need more
Some work falls outside of straightforward permit drawings.

Green Light Permit Drawings focuses on one thing: producing permit-ready construction documents for projects within the existing building footprint. But not every project fits that scope — some require planning department review, design exploration, or construction-phase services that go well beyond drawing production.

For those projects, we work closely with a network of design professionals and can make a warm introduction. The following services are available through our design partners — not through Green Light directly.

Additions that expand past the existing building footprint require planning department involvement and are not handled by Green Light Permit Drawings.

✓

Some jurisdictions require retroactive permit drawings for work that was previously built without permits — we handle that.
