How it works

A simple plan to keep your project moving.

Clear scope, expert review, and permit-ready delivery — with you informed at every step. Three stages, fixed pricing up front, and full ownership from kickoff through approval.

The three stages
STAGE 01

Scope & Proposal

A quick call to confirm scope, deliverables, governing code edition, and project milestones. You get a fixed-fee proposal before any work starts — no hourly creep.

◆ Output: fixed-fee proposal & schedule
STAGE 02

Design & Reviews

We produce the calculations and drawings, run internal QA/QC against the governing code, and coordinate with your architectural set so load paths and connection details line up cleanly.

◆ Output: drawings + calc package, QA-checked
STAGE 03

Permit-Ready Delivery

Stamped where applicable and packaged for submittal. If the building department comes back with comments, we handle the plan-check response through to approval.

◆ Output: submittal set + plan-check support
What you receive

Everything a plan checker expects — in one organized set.

Deliverables vary by scope, but every package is built to be reviewed once and approved.

Structural calculation packageGravity, lateral, and connection calcs tied to the governing code edition.
Structural drawings & detailsFraming plans, sections, schedules, and connection details ready for the field.
PE stamp where applicableSealed by a licensed engineer for the jurisdiction, in coordination with U.S. PEs.
Plan-check response supportRFI and correction responses handled through to approval.
Coordination with your setWe match your titleblock and align with the architectural drawings.
Fixed pricing & clear scopeAgreed up front so your budget and submittal date stay predictable.
Why it matters

Prevent delays, redesigns, and cost overruns.

No more stalling on unclear load paths, unanswered RFIs, or endless corrections. Here's the difference a reliable structural partner makes.

Without a reliable partner

  • Unclear load paths that trigger plan-check corrections
  • Unanswered RFIs that stall the build
  • Endless revision cycles and moving timelines
  • Hourly billing that balloons past the estimate

With Apexo

  • Well-organized, permit-ready structural plans
  • Fixed fee and a clear scope agreed up front
  • Proactive communication at every stage
  • Reliable project ownership through approval
Common questions
Are your designs aligned with U.S. building codes?
Yes. We work to IBC/IRC, ASCE 7-16/22, NDS, local amendments, and the jurisdiction-specific code edition that applies to your project, so every deliverable is built to be permit-ready.
How is pricing handled?
Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee proposal tied to a defined scope. No hourly creep, no surprise change orders — if scope changes, we re-quote in writing before continuing.
How do you maintain quality working remotely?
Standardized calculation templates, internal QA/QC against the governing code, and structured communication workflows let us hold the same quality bar from anywhere, in your time zone.
How does the engagement work?
We start with a scope discussion and a fixed proposal, integrate into your workflow and titleblock, then deliver a permit-ready package and support you through plan-check responses.
