Permit-ready drafting for San Ramon ADUs, additions, remodels and new homes — drawn to fit San Ramon's zoning, planning department and HOA design requirements.
A lot of San Ramon's housing sits in newer planned communities — subdivisions built out over the last few decades, including in areas like Dougherty Valley, with their own HOA design guidelines layered on top of the city's zoning code. That's a detail homeowners in older Bay Area cities don't have to think about: in San Ramon, a project that clears the city's plan check can still need HOA design review before you break ground, and HOA guidelines on things like exterior materials, ADU placement and roofline can be stricter than the city's own minimums. Older, non-HOA neighborhoods in San Ramon follow the more familiar single-family zoning process. Either way, we find out which rules actually apply to your property before we draw anything, so the plans don't have to be redone once an HOA committee weighs in.
Detached, attached and junior ADU plans sized and sited to San Ramon's setback, height and lot-coverage rules, with the state ADU allowances applied correctly — and checked against HOA guidelines where they apply.
Room and second-story addition drawings coordinated with San Ramon's zoning standards and, in planned-community neighborhoods, HOA design review.
Interior and exterior remodel drawings for kitchens, baths and whole-house renovations, including scope that triggers a full plan check submittal.
Ground-up custom home drawings and garage-to-living-space conversions prepared for San Ramon's planning department submittal.
We review your lot, existing structure and goals, and confirm zoning constraints and HOA design-review requirements specific to your San Ramon property.
Full construction drawing set — site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and details — prepared to San Ramon's submittal checklist.
Energy compliance and, where needed, structural review coordinated into the same submittal package.
If the city's planning department or your HOA comes back with corrections, we revise and resubmit — we don't disappear after the first drawing set goes out.
Two decades drawing plans for San Ramon and the surrounding Tri-Valley cities, not a generic national template.
Drawings prepared under professional design standards, not just CAD line work.
San Ramon's zoning ordinances and ADU program get updated — we draw against the current standard, not last year's.
You work directly with the person drawing your plans, from first sketch through plan check and HOA corrections.

It depends on the project. Many single-family ADUs, additions and remodels in San Ramon can be permitted with drafted plans alone, but structural elements — second-story additions, some new construction — often require a licensed engineer's stamp. We'll tell you upfront whether your project needs one, and can coordinate engineering review as part of the drawing package.
Often, yes, if your property is in one of San Ramon's planned-community subdivisions. HOA architectural committees typically review exterior changes separately from the city, and their design guidelines can be more restrictive than city zoning on things like materials, colors and ADU placement. We check whether your property is subject to HOA review during the site walk and draw with those guidelines in mind from the start.
Turnaround varies by submittal volume, project scope, and whether HOA review is also required — simple ADU plans move faster than projects needing both city and HOA sign-off. We can't promise a timeline, but we can promise your drawings won't be the reason for a correction cycle: getting the submittal right against San Ramon's own checklist is the single biggest lever on total time.
Many San Ramon lots qualify for at least one ADU under state and local rules, subject to setback, height and lot-coverage limits that vary by zoning district — and, in HOA communities, subject to the HOA's own design rules as well. We confirm eligibility for your specific parcel during the site walk before we draw anything.
Both, if you want it bundled. We prepare Title 24 / CF1R energy compliance documentation alongside the architectural drawings so the whole package is coordinated and submitted together — see our Title 24 & CF1R services for details.
A site address, rough scope of what you want to build, and — if it exists — a copy of your current property survey, existing floor plan, or your HOA's architectural guidelines. If you don't have a survey, we can help you get one.
Tell us what you're building and we'll get back to you with next steps — usually within one business day.
