The firm
RG Permits & Design Services has been doing one job since 2013: getting building projects from an idea to an issued permit. Not construction, not real estate — the drawings, the applications, and the correction letters in between.
The work splits into two halves. The design half: measuring what exists, drawing what's proposed, and producing a permit set your city's plan checker can approve. The expediting half: filing it, tracking it, and answering the city until the permit issues. Most firms do one or the other. Doing both under one roof means nothing falls in the gap between the designer and the person standing at the counter.
The clients are homeowners adding space, investors legalizing and improving properties, and contractors who want the paperwork handled by someone who does it every week. The projects run from a bathroom permit to ADUs, additions and small commercial build-outs — permitted across Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
Twelve years at the same counters teaches you the thing no code book prints: how each city actually runs. Which jurisdictions want what, how their reviewers read the code, and what makes an application move instead of sit. That knowledge is most of what you're hiring.

Every figure above comes from the public record — the California Secretary of State and city permit databases — not from a marketing department.
Four habits that keep projects moving.
- 01
Feasibility before fees
If what you want can't be permitted on your lot, you'll hear it at the start — not after paying for a full set of drawings. A quick no is worth more to you than a slow maybe.
- 02
Drawn to the checklist
Every city publishes what it wants in a submittal, and most rejected sets simply ignored it. We build each set against the actual jurisdiction's checklist, because that's who has to approve it.
- 03
Corrections are the job, not an interruption
Plan-check comments are a normal part of nearly every application. We plan for them, respond quickly, and keep revising until the permit issues — that cycle is priced into how we scope work, not treated as a surprise.

Straight answers about scope
Some projects legally require a licensed architect or engineer of record. When yours does, we say so at the consult and coordinate the right professional — we'd rather lose a job than misdescribe one.
Your project
Bring us the idea. We'll bring the paperwork.
Tell us the project and the city. If it doesn't need a permit, we'll say so.
What we are, and what we're not.
What we do
- Architectural drafting and design for residential and small commercial projects.
- Permit applications, submittal and expediting in any city we serve.
- Plan-check correction responses, revisions and resubmittals.
- Coordination of licensed structural engineers and specialty consultants.
- Legalization of existing unpermitted work.
What we don't do
- Construction. We don't build, and we don't hold or need a contractor's license — your licensed contractor builds from the approved set.
- Stamping structural calculations. That's a licensed engineer's work, which we coordinate rather than imitate.
- Guaranteeing a city's timeline. Nobody controls a plan-check queue, and anyone who promises otherwise is selling you something.
- Projects that legally require an architect of record — we identify them at the consult and help you bring one in.
