Permit-ready drafting for Belmont ADUs, additions, remodels and new homes — drawn to fit Belmont's zoning rules and the hillside considerations that apply to many of the city's lots.
Belmont is a small, largely residential San Mateo County city, and a lot of its lots sit on a slope. That changes what a plan check reviewer is looking for. On top of standard setback, height and lot-coverage limits in Belmont's single-family-dominant zoning, hillside parcels often bring grading, drainage and sometimes geotechnical review into the picture — issues a flatland ADU or addition never has to address. Plans that don't account for a lot's actual slope tend to come back with corrections. We start every Belmont project from the site's real topography, not a flat-lot template we adjust afterward.
Detached, attached and junior ADU plans sized and sited to Belmont's setback, height and lot-coverage rules, with grading and drainage addressed on hillside lots where it applies.
Room and second-story addition drawings coordinated with Belmont's height limits and, on sloped lots, the grading and retaining-wall details reviewers look for.
Interior and exterior remodel drawings for kitchens, baths and whole-house renovations, including scope that triggers a full plan check submittal in Belmont.
Ground-up custom home drawings and garage-to-living-space conversions prepared for Belmont's submittal process, including hillside sites where applicable.
We review your lot, existing structure and goals, and flag any slope, grading or drainage issues specific to your Belmont parcel.
Full construction drawing set — site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and details — prepared to Belmont's submittal requirements.
Energy compliance and, where hillside conditions call for it, structural or geotechnical coordination built into the same submittal package.
If Belmont's reviewers come back with corrections, we revise and resubmit — we don't disappear after the first drawing set goes out.
Two decades drawing plans for Belmont and the surrounding Peninsula cities, including hillside and sloped-lot projects.
Drawings prepared under professional design standards, not just CAD line work.
Belmont hillside parcels often need grading, drainage and sometimes retaining-wall details that flat-lot plans skip — we build those in from the start, not after a correction.
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 Belmont can be permitted with drafted plans alone, but structural work — retaining walls, hillside foundations, second-story additions — often requires a licensed engineer's stamp. We'll tell you upfront whether your project needs one.
Often, yes. Hillside lots in Belmont can trigger grading review, drainage requirements and sometimes a geotechnical report depending on the slope and scope of work. We flag this during the site walk so it's built into your drawings from the start instead of surfacing as a correction later.
Turnaround depends on submittal volume and project scope — a straightforward ADU on a flatter lot tends to move faster than a hillside addition. We can't promise a city timeline, but drawings prepared against Belmont's actual site conditions are the biggest lever on how many correction cycles you go through.
Most Belmont single-family lots qualify for at least one ADU under state and local rules, subject to setback, height and lot-coverage limits — and, on sloped lots, grading constraints. 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. On sloped Belmont lots a topographic survey is especially useful; if you don't have one, we can help you get it.
