Code Violation Compliance Plans

Did a neighbor report the work? Or did an old remodel come back to haunt you? Either way, we can help.


We prepare code violation plans, unpermitted work drawings, and permit plans for existing construction to help homeowners bring their property into compliance. Our team documents existing conditions, reviews the building department’s code violation notice, prepares the required drawings, and assists with permit corrections and building department coordination through the approval process.


Whether it’s an unpermitted addition, garage conversion, remodel, ADU, or other existing work, we help create the plans needed to move your property toward compliance.

San Jose, California - Unpermitted Addition & Home Remodel

An existing unpermitted garage conversion in Tracy, CA needed to be brought into compliance before it could function as a legal ADU. Our team documented the existing conditions, redesigned portions of the conversion to meet current requirements, and prepared ADU permit and code compliance plans. After completing the permitting process, the ADU could be used as a rentable residential unit.
