Design & Engineering
Drawings, engineering, and permits should not be what holds up your project. We handle all three so the build starts when it is supposed to.
Structural engineering, drawings, and permit management with the local municipality.
A lot of projects stall before anyone picks up a hammer, usually in the drawings and permit stage. JP Construction handles that part: structural design and review, coordination with licensed architects, stamped permit-ready drawings, and the permit application itself, tracked through every municipal review and inspection. The build starts when it is supposed to.
How We Handle Design & Engineering
Scope & Document
We define the project scope, identify all required permit types, and document everything before any design work begins.
Design & Engineer
Structural design and architectural drawings come together as stamped, permit-ready documents for your project.
Apply & Submit
We submit complete permit packages to the appropriate municipality and confirm receipt of all application materials.
Track & Inspect
We respond to reviewer comments, track approval through to permit issuance, and manage all required municipal inspections.

What Customers Say About Our Design & Engineering
I had no idea how to get permits pulled for my project and JP Construction handled every bit of it. Drawings, submissions, inspector coordination, all done. They knew exactly who to call and how to move things along.
JP Construction managed our architect coordination and permit applications for a complex addition. Everything was submitted correctly the first time and approved without a single revision request. Smooth process.
Our project sat stalled for months because of permit issues before we found JP Construction. They sorted out the documentation, resubmitted, and had approvals in hand within three weeks. Wish we had called them first.
