Permit Drawings and Plan Check in Orange County
MBARCHAA prepares permit-ready construction documents and takes them through city plan check in Orange County and Southern California. The licensed architect submits the plans, answers plan-check comments and coordinates resubmittals until the permit is ready to issue.
Key facts
- A typical sequence: zoning review, building plan check (and fire, if required), correction comments, resubmittal, approval, then permit issuance after fees.
- Coastal-zone parcels in cities such as Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente may need a Coastal Development Permit.
- Structural, civil and energy (Title 24) consultants are coordinated by the architect.

Frequently asked questions
Why do plans get correction comments?
Plan checkers review drawings against the building, fire, energy and zoning codes. Missing details or code conflicts come back as comments that must be answered and resubmitted.
Can you deal with the city for me?
Yes. The architect submits the plans, responds to plan-check comments and coordinates consultants, so the owner does not have to manage the city review.
