Residential drafting across Arizona
We work with homeowners throughout Arizona—from the Phoenix metro (Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Chandler) to Tucson, Flagstaff, and communities across Mohave and Coconino counties near our home base in Colorado City. Whether you're building new, adding on, or need a site plan for a permit submission, we scope the plan set to what your city or county actually requires.
Building considerations in Arizona
Arizona's building conditions vary a lot by region. Desert areas like Phoenix and Tucson call for attention to energy code and insulation performance given the summer heat, and monsoon season brings high wind and heavy rain that site plans and drainage details need to account for. Some desert soils in the Phoenix area are expansive and affect foundation design. Higher-elevation northern Arizona—Flagstaff and surrounding areas—sees real snow load and requires different framing and roof design than the low desert.
Permitting in Arizona
Building permits in Arizona are issued at the city or county level, not by the state, so requirements differ between, say, Phoenix, Tucson, and rural county jurisdictions. We confirm what your specific city or county needs as part of your quote.
