Permit-ready drafting for Menlo Park ADUs, additions, remodels and new homes — drawn to fit San Mateo County and City of Menlo Park zoning and submittal requirements.
Menlo Park runs from established, tree-lined single-family neighborhoods with generous lot sizes to denser areas like Belle Haven with a very different lot and housing pattern — which means a plan drawn for one part of the city doesn't automatically work for another. Menlo Park's planning division reviews projects against the zoning district your specific parcel sits in, and design expectations can run stricter in neighborhoods with established character or heritage tree coverage. We draw against your parcel's actual zoning district and lot conditions instead of a one-size-fits-all Menlo Park template, which is where most avoidable correction cycles come from.
Detached, attached and junior ADU plans sized and sited to Menlo Park's setback, height and lot-coverage rules, with state ADU allowances applied correctly.
Room and second-story addition drawings coordinated with Menlo Park's height limits and neighborhood design expectations.
Interior and exterior remodel drawings for kitchens, baths and whole-house renovations, scoped correctly for Menlo Park's plan check requirements.
Ground-up custom home drawings and garage-to-living-space conversions prepared for Menlo Park submittal.
We review your lot, existing structure and goals, and confirm the zoning district and constraints specific to your Menlo Park parcel.
Full construction drawing set — site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and details — prepared to Menlo Park's submittal checklist.
Energy compliance and, where needed, structural review coordinated into the same submittal package.
If the city comes back with corrections, we revise and resubmit — we don't disappear after the first drawing set goes out.
Two decades drawing plans for Peninsula and South Bay cities, not a generic national template.
Drawings prepared under professional design standards, not just CAD line work.
Menlo Park's zoning and design expectations shift by neighborhood — we draw against your lot's actual district, not a citywide average.
You work directly with the person drawing your plans, from first sketch through plan check corrections.

It depends on the project. Many single-family ADUs, additions and remodels can be permitted with drafted plans alone, but structural elements — retaining walls, second-story additions, some new construction — often require a licensed engineer's stamp. We'll tell you upfront whether your project needs one.
Turnaround varies by submittal volume and project scope. We can't promise a city timeline, but we can promise your drawings won't be the reason for a correction cycle: getting it right on the first submittal is the single biggest lever on total time.
Most Menlo Park single-family 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 some neighborhoods, heritage tree protections. We confirm eligibility for your specific parcel during the site walk.
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 or existing floor plan. If you don't have a survey, we can help you get one.
Both. Some clients come to us directly and hire their own contractor afterward; others are referred by a contractor who wants drafting handled by a dedicated specialist rather than in-house.
