  1. 01

    Drafting eats the job

    Every deck or basement needs drawings and City forms before you earn a dollar: hours at night, or $300 to $800 a job to a designer.

  2. 02

    Every City is different

    Fees, forms and rules change at the City line, and a missing form restarts the clock.

  3. 03

    Clients change their minds

    Two feet wider means redrawing every sheet, again.

From the first sketch
to the City’s inbox.
