Are you a Jacksonville, Florida homeowner trying to pull an owner permit at the City of Jacksonville’s Building Inspection Division, for a project you are doing yourself?
If you answered yes to the above question and are reading this blog post, then you are probably feeling frustrated and just about to give up. You were probably asked questions like, “Do you have any plans?”, “Do you have a survey?”, “Do you have an Elevation Certificate?”, “Do you have a Certificate of Appropriateness?”, “Do you have Energy Sheets?”, “Do you have Florida Product Approval sheets?”, “Did you get an Administrative Deviation?”, “Do you know that your property is a non-conforming property?”, or many other questions that can be overwhelming to first time permitees. That is where I can help. Home Options Design offers homeowners in Jacksonville and all of Northeast Florida permitting assistance. We can provide permitting consultations on the items mentioned above as well as any other questions that the building department asks. We can provide plans and drawings, specifications, Florida Product Approval sheets, Energy Sheets, or help you secure any other document that the building department requires. Our fees are reasonable and our turn around times are usually pretty quick too. If you need help permitting a project with the City of Jacksonville’s Building Inspection Division, please contact us.

“HOW MUCH WILL DESIGNING MY PROJECT COST?”
I often get asked questions similiar to, “How much do you charge for drawings?” or “How much will designing my project cost?” This is a tough question to answer without learning more about a specific project. Some projects are only interior and do not have any structural changes. This type of project can usually be done fairly inexpensively, which I consider around $500. Other projects that are much more complex in nature due to the amount of structural changes taking place can run a couple thousand dollars. Projects that are very large in square footage or scope can run more than that, but these projects are not the most common. Most projects can be completed between the $500.00 to $2,000.00 range.
“HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE DRAWING PROCESS?”
The amount of time a project takes to complete can also vary. This is usually dependent on how visual or decisive a client is and is not usually due to Home Options Design taking too long. An average time frame for completing drawings on a mid size project would run approximately 4 weeks. Smaller projects can be completed in as little as a few days, with large or complex projects taking up to 8 weeks. Once again, the average project should be able to be completed in only a few days to a four weeks.
