Revised sheet turned around in four business days.

A change to an issued residential permit, drawn to the engineer's revised structural design and turned around in four business days.

Site & Location

A single-family residence in North Portland, already under an issued City of Portland permit.

Challenge

After the permit issued, the owner decided against a freestanding post shown on the plans. The engineer of record issued a revised structural design, and the architectural sheet had to match it before the change could be filed as a revision of the issued permit.

Approach

Reviewed the engineer's revised structural sheets and calculations Revised only the affected architectural sheet, clouded and tagged in the revision schedule Located the new support and the wall extension to the structural details Prepared the sheet for the City's revision of an issued permit, changed sheets only

Result

A revised sheet that matches the engineer's design, ready for the revision filing. Submitting only the changed sheet keeps the City's review narrow and the issued permit active.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was told my farm building does not need a permit. Is that true?

It may be, and the exemption is narrower than most people are told. It generally covers storing farm equipment and produce or housing livestock, and it tends to end once there is human occupancy, retail sale, public access or employees working in the structure. An office or a restroom is usually enough to end it. We give you that answer in writing before the building goes up.

We have a prototype set from corporate. Can you adapt it per site?

That is a large part of what we do. The prototype stays intact and the adaptation handles the site, the jurisdiction and whatever local provisions apply.

Do you produce the permit drawings yourselves?

SASHKOV produces permit and construction documents in-house, to the US National CAD Standard, and brings in licensed engineers and architects where the jurisdiction or the building requires a stamp.

Do I need a permit to repair fire damage?

Structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical repairs usually need permits; cosmetic work often does not. SASHKOV confirms what your jurisdiction requires before drawing.
