P.S If you dont state that this is your "Fixed price with no further negotiations or discussions" in your description as the first line , you can participate , if you want discussions it means you dont know the job SO DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MY TIME WHATEVER YOU BID WILL BE FINAL AMOUNT TO BE PAID SO THINK AND APPLY OR STRICTLY DONT PARTICIPATE I have a 480-sq-ft structure already standing on my property. It was originally built under an earlier permit, and now I want it officially recognized as an Accessory Dwelling Unit so someone can live in it. The city requires a fresh permit package even though the building is complete. I have already created floor plan. County requires that Kitchen, bathroom and shower has to be made in this already permitted Garage Here is where things stand: • Purpose: convert the existing structure into a legal ADU and secure the final approval. • Scope: prepare all drawings, forms, and code‐compliance documentation the city will ask for, submit the packet, and follow it through revisions until the permit is issued. • Plumbing: at this stage I am not adding a toilet or shower, so bathrooms can be left out of the plans. • Documents on hand: the earlier permits only. I do not yet have current blueprints or inspection reports, so you may need to create or source what the city expects. I need someone who understands local zoning and building codes, can draft or update plans in AutoCAD/Revit, fill out the application forms, respond to any correction notices, and communicate with the planning department until we have the stamped approval in hand. Deliverable: a city-accepted permit set resulting in an issued ADU permit for the existing 480-sq-ft building behind the main house it already has electricity with 100 amps

Fixed price with no further negotiations or discussions. Hello, I am interested in your existing 480 sq. ft. ADU legalization and permit project. I have experience preparing residential permit packages, existing-condition drawings, code compliance documentation, and coordinating with building and planning departments. I can develop the required architectural drawings in AutoCAD/Revit, document the existing electrical service and 100A panel, prepare the permit application package, and coordinate responses to plan-review comments through approval. Since there is no current blueprint, I can work from the previous permits, site measurements, photos, and existing conditions to create an accurate permit set. The final package can include floor plans, elevations, sections, code notes, and other documents required by the local jurisdiction. I understand that the objective is an issued ADU permit, not simply a drawing package. I can provide a fixed-price proposal covering the agreed scope through the applicable review process. Thank you.

Hello, I can prepare the permit package required to convert your existing 480 sq ft structure into a legal ADU, using your existing floor plan and previous permit documents as the starting point. My scope includes: Review of previous permits and available documentation Updating/producing the required architectural permit drawings Site/location information and code-related documentation ADU/zoning and building-code coordination Electrical documentation for the existing 100A service Required application forms and supporting documents Coordination of required corrections from the reviewing department Submission-ready AutoCAD/Revit files and PDF permit set Clear documentation of assumptions and missing information I understand that the existing structure may not have current drawings or inspection records, so I will document the available information carefully and identify anything that must be verified in the field or confirmed by the AHJ. I will also resolve the apparent discrepancy regarding the county’s Kitchen/Bathroom/Shower requirements before finalizing the permit set rather than making an unsupported assumption. The objective is a coordinated, complete package suitable for the local authority’s review and continued response through the permit process.

Fixed price with no further negotiations or discussions. I understand you need to legalize an existing 480 sq ft detached structure as an ADU and prepare the required permit package based on the existing permit documents and your floor plan. I can update the drawings in AutoCAD, coordinate the required architectural information, and prepare a clear permit-ready set for review. A quick question: which city/county is the property located in? This is important so I can account for the correct ADU zoning and building requirements. I’d be glad to review the existing permits and floor plan and develop the required drawings for the permit submission. Best regards, Qayyom

Fixed price with no further negotiations or discussions: $4,000. Hello, I have experience preparing residential conversion and ADU permit packages for existing structures, including as-built plans, code review updates, site documentation, and plan-check correction responses. I am interested in this project because the structure is already built and permitted as a garage, so the work needs a focused ADU conversion package that addresses city requirements, utilities, zoning, and habitability without overcomplicating the scope. I will review the prior permits, your floor plan, electrical information, site conditions, and local ADU checklist, then prepare the drawings, forms, site plan, code notes, and correction-response updates needed for resubmission. If stamped drawings are required, I do not personally hold local licensure, but I can provide stamped results through an actively licensed architect or engineer I work with. I will keep the permit set clear, coordinated, and focused on getting the existing 480 sq ft structure approved as a legal ADU. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

I understand you need to secure retroactive ADU permit approval for your existing 480-sq-ft structure, similar to how we've helped clients navigate complex city zoning and permitting processes for unpermitted additions. My approach is to systematically gather all necessary documentation and ensure compliance with current ADU regulations. My process involves a thorough review of your property's existing permits, surveys, and any construction records. I will then prepare a comprehensive permit package, which typically includes architectural drawings, site plans, and potentially structural calculations, all tailored to meet your city's specific requirements for retroactive ADU approval. This will involve coordinating with relevant city departments to ensure a smooth submission and approval process. To best tailor this to your situation, could you confirm if you have any existing architectural plans or surveys available for the structure? If so, please let me know. I'm available to discuss this further at your convenience.

Hello, You need to legalize an existing 480 sq ft structure as an ADU by preparing the required permit drawings and documentation around the existing approved building and 100 amp electrical service. I can develop the architectural permit set from your existing floor plan and prior permit documents, including the required plans, dimensions, code information, and documentation needed for the city review. I can also organize the package for submission and address drafting related corrections during the review process. Also a quick question, which city or county jurisdiction is handling the ADU approval so I can verify the specific permit requirements before starting?

Hello there! Fixed price with no further negotiations or discussions. This project is a strong fit. I understand you need a complete retroactive ADU permit package for the existing 480-sq-ft structure, with the city-ready drawings, forms, and code documents that can move through review cleanly. I work carefully with permit sets and revision cycles, so the goal is not just drawings, but an approval-ready package. I would start by reviewing the existing permit history, your concept plan, and the county requirements tied to the garage conversion. Then I would prepare the updated plan set in AutoCAD/Revit, align it with zoning and building code needs, complete the application documents, and handle correction responses until the permit is issued. The key points here are accurate existing-conditions drafting, clear code compliance, and making sure the county and city requirements match before submittal. I will keep the process organized and move quickly so nothing is missed. Best regards.
