Architectural permit drawings for Massachusetts contractors
Need building permit drawings
that work in the field?
Design Build Architects supports contractors across Greater Boston, the North Shore, and Massachusetts with code-aware permit drawings, as-built documentation, renovation plans, and home addition plans. If your client needs an architect near them to document a settled scope and prepare the architectural set, send us the address and what you already have.
When stamped architectural drawings are required, we review, prepare, or take responsible control of the documents before applying a professional seal. An architect’s stamp is never sold separately.
The 14-day turnaround guarantee
Permit drawings in
two weeks.
For qualifying residential projects that require documentation—not architectural design—we guarantee a permit-ready architectural set within 14 calendar days after we receive complete field information, a confirmed scope, required consultant information, and written authorization to begin.
The guarantee covers our architectural drawing turnaround. Municipal review time, zoning or historic review, engineering, incomplete existing conditions, owner decisions, and scope changes are outside the 14 days. Small assignments begin at $1,000 and every project is scoped before work starts.

Permit drawing FAQ
What contractors
usually ask.
Do you prepare as-built drawings?
Yes. For qualifying projects, we can document existing residential conditions and prepare architectural as-built plans as the basis for permit drawings. The required field information and verification method are confirmed before we begin.
Can an architect stamp my contractor drawings?
We can only stamp architectural documents after reviewing the project and preparing them or taking responsible control of the work. Send the drawings, project address, and scope so we can confirm the right path.
What do you need to start a permit set?
Send the address, verified measurements or existing drawings, clear photos, proposed scope, known structural or consultant information, and your target permit date.
Do you work directly with contractors?
Yes. Our permit service is built for general contractors and trade professionals who need a responsive architectural partner while keeping their own client relationship.
Where do you provide architectural permit drawings?
We serve Greater Boston, the North Shore, and communities throughout Massachusetts, subject to project scope and local requirements.
