How Kathryn from Arizona Got Her
Retaining Wall Site Plan Approved

Kathryn, a new residential client from Phoenix, Arizona, needed a detailed site plan to obtain a permit for an existing retaining wall at the rear of her home.

The wall had recently been modified with an additional 4-foot surcharge, and the city required updated documentation reflecting the changes, including the removal of a metal slotted fence and the addition of a CMU block wall.

Order:

Kathryn selected our Premium Package Site Plan  and chose a 24-hour turnaround.

She requested the final site plan in PDF format, with standard sizing.

To help explain the situation, she shared an image of the existing conditions, which gave our designers a clear starting point.

OUR SOLUTION:

Based on the provided image and property details, our CAD team prepared a non-certified site plan accepted by most townships, carefully documenting the as-built retaining wall and added surcharge.

Because no site visit was required, we were able to keep the process efficient while maintaining accuracy, saving Kathryn both time and cost.

Although she selected a 24-hour delivery window, we completed the site plan faster than expected, in just 14 hours.

Kathryn’s  Premium Site Plan drawing incuded all necessary information like:

  • Property Lines
  • Primary Structure
  • North Arrow
  • Parcel ID
  • Landscape
  • Lawn
  • Lot dimensions
  • Scale, Roofline
  • Fence, Trees
  • Sidewalks
  • Driveway
  • Paths, Shrubs
  • Measurements Between Major Features
  • Swimming Pool
  • Accessory Structures
  • Well and septic system
  • Parking Spaces

REVISIONS

Kathryn requested one revision, which was handled promptly and included at no extra cost.

SUMMARY

This project stands out for its precision in documenting an existing structure with recent modifications.

By clearly presenting the surcharge and updated wall details, our team helped Kathryn meet permit requirements without delays.

The fast turnaround and clear communication made this a smooth and stress-free collaboration from start to finish.
