Are revisions extra?
Reviewer comments are included — I revise until the permit is approved. Scope changes are different: if the equipment list or array size changes after the draft, that is new work and I will tell you before doing it.
Home/Process
Working together
No portal to log into, no ticket numbers. You send the basics, I send a price and a date, and from there it is email and a phone that gets answered.
Address, scope, equipment list and survey photos. If you have a utility bill or an existing panel photo, send those too — the service and main breaker rating drive half the electrical design.
You send — address, scope, equipment, photosA fixed proposal with a clear schedule — not an hourly estimate that drifts. Price covers the drawings, the seal, and the comment responses. You know the number before anything starts.
You get — fixed price and a delivery dateThe draft lands, typically within 24 to 48 hours. You mark it up — a PDF comment, a phone call, a photo of the set with a pen on it, whatever is fastest for you. I turn the edits quickly.
You get — a draft to mark up, not a final to argue withPE-sealed, permit-ready PDF, sheet-numbered and ready to upload. Wet stamp if your AHJ still wants paper. Then I handle reviewer comments until the permit is approved.
You get — a sealed set, plus comment handling01 / Before you write
Missing items are the single biggest cause of delay — not drafting time. Everything below is usually already on your phone.
| Site address | Drives AHJ, wind zone and utility |
|---|---|
| Scope | PV only, PV + storage, storage retrofit, off-grid |
| Equipment list | Modules, inverters, batteries, racking |
| Roof photos | All planes, plus obstructions and vents |
| Electrical photos | Meter, main panel interior, panel label |
| Service data | Main breaker and bus rating, voltage, phase |
| Attic or truss photo | Only for structural attachment work |
| Deadline | If there is one, say so up front |
02 / Timing
Typical windows for a complete intake. Complex commercial scopes and structural work take longer, and I will say so when you ask.
| Quote | Same business day |
|---|---|
| Residential PV draft | 24–48 hours |
| Residential PV + storage | 24–48 hours |
| Revision round | Usually same day |
| Commercial draft | Scope dependent — quoted with a date |
| AHJ comment response | Prioritised over new work |
03 / Questions I get asked
Reviewer comments are included — I revise until the permit is approved. Scope changes are different: if the equipment list or array size changes after the draft, that is new work and I will tell you before doing it.
Yes. Most AHJs take a digitally sealed PDF, but if yours still requires a wet signature and physical seal, say so at quote time and it ships.
Florida and Arizona. If your project is elsewhere, ask — I will tell you honestly whether I can seal it rather than take the job and find out later.
Only with your permission. Most of my work stays confidential, which is why the portfolio here is a small sample of 4,000+ projects.
Me. There is no design team, no account manager and no offshore drafting desk. The person who answers the phone is the person who seals the set.
Yes — third-party and owner’s engineer reviews for code compliance and QA, whether you are buying the work, inheriting it, or checking a subcontractor.
