About the project
A civic building on a fixed budget
A design-build contractor was delivering a new fire station with apparatus bays, crew quarters and training areas. The permit submission and construction set had to be produced quickly to hold the start date.
We drafted the architectural set and coordinated it with the structural and MEP consultants’ drawings.
What we delivered
- Permit drawing set
- Floor plans and elevations
- Building sections
- Apparatus bay details
- Door and finish schedules
- Coordinated MEP backgrounds
Start date fixed
Permit drawings had to be submitted within four weeks.
Three consultants
Architecture, structure and services had to agree on every sheet.

Review comments needed fast, clean resubmission.
