Working together
Four steps.
You always know
where the job is.
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.
Process · short formE.R.
Given: address, scope, equipment, photos
Find: price, date, sealed set
Quote : same business day
Draft : 24–48 h
Revisions : until approved
How a set gets done
-
Share the basics
Address, scope, equipment list and survey photos. If you have a utility bill or a photo of the existing panel, send those too: the service and main breaker rating drive half the electrical design.
You sendAddress, scope, equipment, photos
-
Quote and timeline
A fixed proposal with a clear schedule, not an hourly estimate that drifts. The price covers the drawings, the seal and the comment responses. You know the number before anything starts.
You getA fixed price and a delivery date
-
Review and refine
The draft lands, typically within 24 to 48 hours. You mark it up however is easiest for you: a PDF comment, a phone call, a photo of the set with a pen on it. I make the edits and send it back.
You getA draft to mark up, not a final to argue with
-
Seal and submit
A PE-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 getA sealed set, plus comment handling
Before you write
Send these and I can scope the job accurately.
Missing items are the single biggest cause of delay, not drafting time.
EnclosuresProject intake · 8 items

all of it is usually already on your phone
Timing
Timing you can plan around.
Typical windows for a complete intake. Complex commercial scopes and structural work take longer, and I will say so when you ask.
| No. | Item | Typical window |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Quote | Same business day |
| 2 | Residential PV draft | 24–48 hours |
| 3 | Residential PV + storage | 24–48 hours |
| 4 | Revision round | Usually same day |
| 5 | Commercial draft | Scope dependent, quoted with a date |
| 6 | AHJ comment response | Prioritized over new work |
Questions I get asked
The fine print, in plain language.
- RFI-01Are 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.
- RFI-02Can you wet stamp?
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.
- RFI-03Do you work outside Florida?
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.
- RFI-04Will my project appear on this site?
Only with your permission. Most of my work stays confidential, which is why the portfolio here is a small sample of 4,000+ projects.
- RFI-05Who do I actually talk to?
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.
- RFI-06Can you review someone else's 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.
