Getting a building permit in California means submitting a complete, coordinated set of documents — and if anything’s missing, you’re back in line. Here’s what’s required:

• Architectural drawings
• Civil engineering plans
• Structural calculations and drawings
• MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) plans
• Title 24 energy compliance reports

At PixelArch, we prepare all of these documents from the ground up, tailored to your specific project. All we need is your initial concept — even a rough sketch — and we’ll guide you through each step of the design process until your permit submittal is complete and ready for approval.

Planning a renovation? You’ll need nearly the same documentation as a new build — and most owners don’t realize that until they’re already delayed. We prepare all necessary drawings, coordinate with your city, and handle the entire permitting process so you can focus on the project itself.

If you’re located nearby, we can visit your site to take field measurements and discuss your goals in person. We’ll ensure the final design reflects your vision and complies with local regulations.

Want to add an ADU to your property? Recent California laws make it easier than ever. Whether you’re building in your backyard, over a garage, or converting existing space, an ADU is one of the smartest investments you can make — for rental income, family, or property value.

You can use an ADU to generate rental income, house extended family members or create a private guest suite. PixelArch will handle the entire design and permitting process to make your ADU project smooth, compliant, and successful.
