What we permit

Residential
permitting, handled.

One specialist team for everything that adds a home in Seattle — backyard cottages, conversions, new construction, and the new middle-housing density. Below is the full catalog.

Also handled

Every other residential permit.

The everyday work that still trips homeowners up — handled with the same code-first rigor as our dwelling-unit projects.

Additions & Second Stories

Footprint expansions, dormers, and full second-story additions — the structural and energy review handled cleanly.

  • Structural & framing review
  • Footprint & FAR analysis
  • Energy-code documentation

Interior Remodels

Kitchens, baths, and reconfigurations — from a simple STFI submittal to a full permit when walls or systems move.

  • STFI vs. full-permit triage
  • Trade-permit coordination
  • Correction responses

Decks, Garages & Carports

Decks over 18 inches, roof decks, garages, carports, and conversions — permitted to the right path the first time.

  • 18-inch & roof-deck rules
  • Detached-structure setbacks
  • Garage-conversion strategy

Feasibility & Zoning Check

Know exactly what your lot allows — units, envelope, and constraints — before you spend a dollar on design.

  • Parcel & zoning research
  • Buildable-envelope study
  • Go / no-go in days, not weeks
