Permit-ready drafting for Mountain View ADUs, additions, remodels and new homes — drawn to fit Mountain View's zoning and planning department requirements.
Mountain View is one of the tightest housing markets in the Bay Area, and that shapes almost every drafting decision we make here. Lots tend to run smaller than in neighboring cities, rents are high enough that an ADU can pencil out as a real income property rather than just extra space, and single-family zoning sits close to multi-family blocks in a lot of neighborhoods. That combination means setback, height and lot-coverage math has to be right down to the inch — there isn't the buffer room that larger lots give you elsewhere. Mountain View's planning department reviews ADU and addition plans against its own zoning code, and a drawing that doesn't account for a lot's actual dimensions and zoning district gets sent back for correction. We draw for the parcel you actually have, not an average-sized lot.
Detached, attached and junior ADU plans sized and sited to Mountain View's setback, height and lot-coverage rules, with the state ADU allowances applied correctly — built for smaller lots and rental-income use cases.
Room and second-story addition drawings coordinated with Mountain View's height and daylight-plane standards in single-family zones.
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 Mountain View's planning department submittal.
We review your lot, existing structure and goals, and confirm zoning constraints specific to your Mountain View parcel.
Full construction drawing set — site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and details — prepared to Mountain View'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 Mountain View and the surrounding cities, not a generic national template.
Drawings prepared under professional design standards, not just CAD line work.
Mountain View'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 corrections.

It depends on the project. Many single-family ADUs, additions and remodels in Mountain View 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.
Turnaround varies by submittal volume and project scope — simple ADU plans move faster than full remodels or new construction. We can't promise a city timeline, but we can promise your drawings won't be the reason for a correction cycle: getting the submittal right against Mountain View's own checklist is the single biggest lever on total time.
A smaller lot doesn't automatically rule out a detached ADU — state and local allowances are built to work on tighter Mountain View parcels, though setback, height and lot-coverage limits still apply and vary by zoning district. We confirm what your specific lot can actually support during the site walk, including whether an ADU pencils out for rental income.
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.
