Residential drafting across Louisiana
We work with homeowners across Louisiana, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and Lafayette. Whether you're building new, adding on, or need a site plan for a permit submission, we scope the plan set to what your parish requires.
Building considerations in Louisiana
Hurricane and wind-load design are a central consideration across most of Louisiana, particularly along the coast and in the New Orleans area. Flood zone and elevation requirements are common near the coast and along rivers and can affect foundation type and finished floor elevation. High humidity and soft or expansive soils in parts of the state are also regular factors in foundation and moisture design.
Permitting in Louisiana
Louisiana permitting is generally handled at the parish or municipal level, with additional flood-zone requirements from FEMA-related floodplain ordinances in many coastal and river-adjacent parishes. We confirm what applies to your specific address as part of your quote.
