Design. Permit. Unlock.

We Don’t Just Design — We Make Homes Make Sense

Design

We draft clean, code-compliant plans for ADUs, garage conversions, additions,
ADA upgrades, and more. Every drawing is built with the city reviewer and your timeline—in mind.

Permit

We coordinate with city departments, engineers, Title 24 consultants, and your contractor to get your permit issued fast. Whether it’s a new submittal or a redline correction—we handle it.

Unlock

We solve the problems that hold projects back—missing easements, zoning issues, unpermitted work, or lot layout confusion. If it’s in the way, we fix it so you can move forward.

Companies we've had the pleasure to work with

We had an unpermitted garage that we thought was going to cost us everything. Ronnie stepped in, drafted the plans, coordinated everything, and got us approved. Redline is the real deal.”—
