At County Permit Drawings, we lay the groundwork for your project’s success delivering precise civil drawings that integrate design, compliance, and site performance.
Civil drawings are essential for planning, developing, and managing the site related aspects of your construction project. They ensure proper land use, grading, drainage, utility placement, and environmental compliance. At County Permit Drawings, our civil drawing packages are developed to meet city or county requirements while coordinating seamlessly with architectural and structural plans. Whether for a new build, addition, or site upgrade, our civil sets provide the clarity and compliance needed for smooth approvals and effective construction.
Our civil drawing packages are detailed, code compliant, and customized to meet your city or county’s specific requirements, ensuring a smoother approval process and safer site development.
Outlines all applicable civil and environmental codes, design criteria, and project specific standards. Includes keynotes for drainage, grading, and utilities to guide both reviewers and contractors.
Provides a detailed representation of the land, including boundaries, topography, and existing features. Essential for understanding site conditions and informing design decisions.
A complete map of the property showing boundaries, building footprint, setbacks, driveways, walkways, and access points. Designed to highlight spatial planning and compliance with zoning laws.
Displays existing and proposed ground elevations, slopes, and contour lines. Ensures proper drainage, stability, and integration with surrounding land features.
Cross-sectional diagrams of stormwater features showing construction details, depth profiles, slopes, and material specifications for accurate implementation.
Shows the precise location of water, sewer, gas, and electrical service lines with connection points to municipal or private infrastructure.
Specifies silt fences, sediment traps, and temporary erosion measures to prevent soil loss and protect nearby waterways during construction.
Lays out hydrant locations, fire lane access, sprinkler system connections, and clear paths for emergency vehicles to ensure life-safety compliance.
Lays out the network of inlets, culverts, channels, and pipes that safely redirect stormwater away from structures and critical areas.
Identifies evacuation routes, muster points, and on-site safety provisions to protect workers and visitors during emergencies.
To prepare accurate and permit-ready civil drawings, we’ll require the following:
Current boundary and topographic survey showing property lines, contours, easements, and existing features.
FEMA flood zone determination or local floodplain analysis.
Includes soil bearing capacity, composition, and stability data for grading and foundation planning.
Existing utility maps and connection details (water, sewer, gas, electric, telecom).
Proposed building footprint and any hardscape/landscape design intent.
Any special environmental reports, tree surveys, or HOA landscape guidelines.
Applicable permit application forms, stormwater checklists, or erosion control templates.
Sloped sites, protected trees, heritage features, or existing structures to be retained.
Our 5-Step Civil Drawings Process
Our civil drawing process is structured and compliance focused:
We gather all site data, reports, and project requirements from you or your consultants.
We assess zoning, drainage, and utility feasibility before detailed drafting.
We prepare site, grading, drainage, and utility layouts to integrate with architectural and structural sets.
We refine drawings after review with your design team and address any permitting authority feedback.
You receive a complete, permit-ready civil drawing set in PDF and CAD formats for submission.
Civil drawings are the foundation for site approval. They guide how land is shaped, serviced, and protected during and after construction. Permitting authorities rely on these documents to ensure safety, accessibility, environmental compliance, and proper utility coordination. Without them, projects risk delays, rejections, or costly field changes.
Expertise in site planning, drainage, and utility coordination.
Knowledge of zoning, environmental, and infrastructure regulations.
Seamless integration with architectural and structural designs.
Experience with both residential and light commercial site development.
Fast, accurate, and permit-focused delivery.
