Permit delays often happen when drawings are incomplete, unclear, or not aligned with local submission requirements. I help solve that by providing professional permit drawings, structural permit plans, floor plans, site plans, engineering drawings, and PE stamp support for residential and commercial projects. I work with homeowners, contractors, designers, and developers who need accurate, organized, and permit-ready drawings for projects in Arizona, Florida, Texas, California, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina, and Colorado. Whether you need a new permit package, revisions to existing plans, correction of rejected drawings, or support for qualifying PE stamp requirements, I focus on clear, submission-ready documents that improve approval readiness. I draft permit drawings for a home addition, ADU, garage conversion, basement remodel, deck, renovation, or new construction project, beam sizing, foundation design, framing plans, structural drawings, load calculations, wood structure design, steel or concrete design, wind/seismic checks, or a response to city permit comments. Deliverables may also include beam sizing, LVL or steel beam design, load calculations, post/column sizing, bearing notes, framing details, and permit-ready structural documentation. My Premium Services Comprises: Permit drawings for city permit submission Structural permit plans PE stamp support for qualifying projects Floor plan and site plan drafting Engineering drawings and technical detailing Permit revisions and correction updates This service helps you communicate clearly with your contractor, respond to city permit requirements, and reduce the risk of costly field issues. As a licensed PE Engineer and Architect, I understand that every project is different. That's why I review each project individually to determine the most efficient engineering solution while helping clients avoid costly delays during permitting and construction. Before ordering, send your plans, sketches, permit comments, or project details and I'll review the scope and recommend the most appropriate engineering package.

When I say delivered by Monday - I actually mean it! Bachelor's degree in architectural design, and 20 years in architectural visualization, working with architects and developers on projects where the visuals need to close deals, win investors, or sell projects before the ground breaks. I turn concept ideas into fully developed visual presentations. When the deadline is tight, I know how to prioritize and optimize the pipeline, without sacrificing quality or the details that matter. If you need a quick and easy render, city permits, or a simple floor plan, I'm probably not your guy. I work best on complex, high-budget projects: luxury residential, mixed-use developments, investor decks, pre-sale campaigns. frameviz dot com SketchUp + Enscape / Twinmotion /D5 3DMax + Vray or Corona, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere for post-production.

I help founders and business owners turn vibe-coded prototypes into real, stable products people can actually use. If you’ve built something with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Base44, v0, Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI coding tool, I can help you clean it up, secure it, fix the broken pieces, and get it deployed properly. For mobile apps, I can help get your app production-ready and submitted to the App Store or Google Play. I’ve spent 15+ years building software for everyone from small businesses to venture-backed startups. I’ve led engineering at two YC-backed companies and have built dozens of applications for founders who later raised funding, became profitable, or used the product to run their business. My strength is working directly with founders. I’m not just here to write code from a ticket. I help you figure out what’s actually needed, what’s risky, what’s overbuilt, and what needs to happen to turn your prototype into something reliable. I can help with: • Stabilizing vibe-coded web and mobile apps • Fixing bugs, broken flows, and messy codebases • Securing Supabase, Firebase, APIs, auth, and payments • Deploying apps to Vercel, Render, Heroku, Supabase, etc. • Preparing and submitting mobile apps to the App Store / Google Play • Cleaning up AI-generated code • Adding missing production features • Integrating Stripe, auth, email, storage, analytics, and admin tools • Improving performance and reliability • Building MVPs from scratch when needed • Coaching founders who want to keep vibe coding but need technical guidance Tools I regularly work with professionally include JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js, React, React Native, Expo, Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Firebase, MongoDB, Ruby on Rails, Heroku, Render, Vercel, n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LangChain, and Go. If you have a prototype that “kind of works” but isn’t ready for real users, that’s exactly where I’m useful.
