Texas review factors that can change the scope
Rules change from city to city. These are examples from official city permit pages, and we check the rules for your address before drawing.
Requirements change. Always confirm current rules with your permit office before you build.
Common reasons reviewers ask for corrections
These are recurring review issues we account for when preparing the agreed drawing scope.
- Existing and proposed conditions are not clearly distinguished
- Dimensions, notes or project scope are incomplete
- Required site, architectural, structural or trade information is missing
- Drawing sheets do not coordinate with one another
- Local review comments are not addressed in the resubmittal
What we need from you
Start with the information you already have. We identify any missing measurements, records or design inputs before drafting proceeds.
- Property addressSo we can confirm the city, county or ETJ rules.
- Survey or recorded plat when availableA PDF or clear image is fine. If it is unavailable, we confirm what source information is needed before drafting.
- Project detailsWhat you are building, its size and where it goes on the lot.
- Photos or a sketchOptional, but they help us place the work accurately.

Questions about Texas structural calculations
Straight answers to what Texas owners and contractors ask us most.
What are structural calculations?
They document the engineering checks used to size or verify structural members, foundations and connections.
Do calculations come with drawings?
They can be provided with structural drawings when both are part of the agreed scope.
Can you calculate a beam for a wall opening?
Yes, subject to having enough information about spans, loads, supports and the existing structure.
Do calculations require a Texas PE?
Where engineering documents must be sealed, the work must be reviewed and accepted by the responsible Texas professional engineer.
Can you use manufacturer reactions?
Yes. Truss, metal-building or equipment reactions can be incorporated when provided.
