What does the drawing set include?

We draft the suite from the lease plan, the landlord base drawings or a field measure you provide. The set includes an existing conditions plan, a demolition plan showing walls and finishes to remove, a new construction plan with partitions, doors and dimensions, a reflected ceiling plan and a finish plan. Your MEP engineer adds mechanical, electrical and plumbing on top of our DWG files, and the landlord gets a clean set for approval before the permit submittal.

Permits and review in Scottsdale

Arizona has no mandatory statewide building code for general construction. Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa and the counties each adopt and enforce their own, so the governing code is whichever jurisdiction issues the permit.

Who reviews a Scottsdale project, and how the city protects Old Town character. Scottsdale development review runs through the city's Planning and Development Services Department, with the Development Review Board carrying real, substantive authority over Old Town projects specifically, having already weighed in on The Artisan's approval and continuing to evaluate the larger, roughly five-times-scale project currently working through the process. The city's Old Town character preservation goals are formalized in specific design guidelines governing height transitions, pedestrian scale, and material quality, a review standard comparable in rigor to what applies in Naples' Fifth Avenue South corridor or Greenville's Design Review Board. For Paradise Valley-adjacent luxury resort projects like Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley and Kimpton Miralina, review moves through a separate, resort-oriented process that weighs golf course integration, view corridor protection, and low-density luxury standards distinct from Old Town's more urban infill considerations.

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  • Photos or a field measure if base drawings are outdated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.
