Permit Plan Sets in Ohio

Permit Plan Sets in Ohio

Under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4733, any construction project involving structural work requires signed and sealed engineering drawings to obtain a building permit. The building department will not issue a permit — and construction cannot legally begin — without sealed plans from a licensed Ohio Professional Engineer. Ohio Licensed Engineers prepares complete, code-compliant permit plan sets the first time, minimizing plan review delays and getting your project to construction faster.

Every plan set we produce includes sealed structural drawings, complete calculations demonstrating compliance with the Ohio Building Code and Ohio Residential Code, foundation design with 32-inch frost depth compliance, connection details, material specifications, and energy code compliance documentation where required. We design for Ohio's specific loading conditions — 20–25 psf ground snow load, wind loads per ASCE 7, and the soil conditions prevalent throughout the state.

We're familiar with building departments throughout Ohio and the local amendments they enforce. When the plan reviewer has comments — and they usually do — we respond to every comment at no additional charge, handling the entire resubmittal process until your permit is issued. From deck permits to commercial build-outs, we deliver the engineering you need to get your permit approved and your project moving.
