What does the drawing set include?

Permits and review in San Antonio

Hemisfair and Project Marvel are remaking downtown San Antonio around a new sports and entertainment core. Downtown San Antonio's most significant active development is concentrated at Hemisfair, the historic 1968 World's Fair site immediately southeast of downtown, where Civic Park's second phase construction began in October with an early 2027 opening targeted. Zachry Hospitality broke ground in November on the 17-story Monarch San Antonio hotel at 222 South Alamo Street within Civic Park, targeting a 2026 opening, and the Historic and Design Review Commission approved design for 550 Market Street, the first phase of a mixed-use development adding roughly 54,306 square feet of dining and retail space across two floors alongside 300 additional underground parking spaces. 5 billion dollars.

Your local building department sets the final submittal checklist. We draft to the sheet content reviewers ask for and revise if the reviewer issues comments on the drawings we produced.

How does the drafting work?

  1. You send the lease plan or base drawings and your layout sketch.
  2. We confirm existing conditions and the program.
  3. We draft demo, new construction, ceiling and finish plans.
  4. You, the landlord and your engineer review; we revise.
  5. Final DWG and PDF TI set.

What do you need to send us?

  • Lease plan or landlord base drawings
  • Layout sketch or list of rooms and sizes
  • Photos or a field measure if base drawings are outdated

If you are not sure what you have is enough, send it anyway. We review it the same business day and tell you exactly what is missing, if anything.

How fast is it and what does it cost?

Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from complete information, and a 48-hour rush is available on smaller scopes. Every project gets a fixed quote before drafting starts, based on the number of sheets, the size of the building and how much existing conditions work is needed. There are no hourly surprises: revisions on the drawings we produced are included until the set is ready to submit.

How are the files delivered?

You receive native DWG files on named layers (walls, doors and windows, dimensions, text, existing and new work kept apart), a plotted PDF set at the correct sheet size and scale, and a short sheet index. Your engineer, contractor or permit expediter can open the files without cleanup, add their own sheets and keep working on the same base drawings.
