Commercial Professional Drawings for Your Business Space.
You don't have to navigate commercial building codes alone. Whether you are building a new commercial structure, finishing out a tenant space, or expanding an existing facility, a well-documented set of plans is what keeps your project moving and your approval on track.
Serving Woodburn, Salem, Portland, and the surrounding Oregon communities, we turn complex commercial code requirements and tight project timelines into clear, approvable plans.
New Commercial Construction
Starting from the ground up requires precise documentation from day one. We produce full commercial plan sets that satisfy Oregon structural, accessibility, and energy code requirements.
Tenant Improvement Plans
Fitting out a leased space for your business requires drawings that satisfy both your landlord and the building department. We design efficient layouts and produce the permit documents you need.
Commercial Additions & Expansions
Growing your facility means tying new construction into an existing commercial structure. We handle the coordination between old and new to keep your project code-compliant and approvable.
Our Process For Your Commercial Project
Commercial projects are held to a higher standard than residential construction. Accessibility, occupancy classification, and energy compliance all require careful attention from the start. Here is how we ensure success:
On-Site Consultation
We start by measuring your existing space or studying your site. Accurate existing conditions documentation is critical before any commercial design or code analysis can begin.
Design & 3D Modeling
We draft the initial layout and elevations. Using 3D modeling tools, we help you visualize the finished space and confirm the design works before anything is submitted for review.
Code Compliance
We refine the plans to meet the Oregon Structural Specialty Code and applicable accessibility standards. This includes occupancy classifications, egress requirements, and energy compliance documentation.
Permit-Ready Docs
You receive a full set of plans — including site plans, floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections — ready to submit to your city or county building department.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the planning and permitting process in Oregon.
Do all commercial projects require a permit in Oregon?
es. Any new commercial construction, tenant improvement, or structural change to an existing commercial building requires a permit. We provide the specific drawings your local jurisdiction requires to approve the project.
What is the difference between a Drafter and an Architect for a commercial project?
For some commercial projects, a licensed architect or engineer may be required depending on occupancy type and square footage. We will advise you on what your specific project requires and coordinate with licensed professionals when necessary.
Can you help with an existing commercial space that needs updated drawings?
Yes. We can perform a site visit to measure the existing conditions and produce accurate as-built drawings that reflect the current state of your commercial space for permits, leasing, or renovation planning.
