Experience You Can Trust

ArtworksPlans Inc was created by me, Art Robert, from my original company Artworks Design & Build Inc, where the focus was on residential construction. For over three decades my construction company helped homeowners build, add to, and renovate their biggest asset, their home. What I found was that the projects that were the most successful started with a clear understanding of the local zoning ordinances, an understanding of the permit process, code complaint building plans (2D), project renderings (3D) for the owner, and a detailed cost of the project.

Depending on where you live, navigating your town’s zoning ordinances can be a complex task.  We found that doing a little research can often determine whether the conceptual project is permittable or not.

Understanding if you have all the correct and accurate documents required for submitting a building permit application can be confusing. Submitting an incomplete permit application creates long delays in acquiring a building permit. ArtworksPlans reviews permit applications for accuracy prior to submission.

All ArtworksPlans are developed to prescriptive code in accordance with 2018 IRC in conjunction with state-specific building code.  A set of code complaint, permittable plans comes with a complete floor plan, elevations, exterior elevation, details, cross sections, applicable code references and shop drawings. ArtworksPlans also provides 3D renderings of the project for the owner, although this is not a permit requirement.

Accurately understanding the cost of your project after the plans are completed and prior to building permit submission is step often missed. It’s better to do a detailed cost analysis of the job and modify the plan to your budget than to start a project that you don’t have the resources to complete. ArtworksPlans has a cost analyst form that we use to make sure that the plan and budget align and you are able to complete the project you set out to do.
