Pasadena, Texas
Design and permit drawings in Pasadena
Pasadena mixes neighborhoods, shops and a large industrial base along the Houston Ship Channel. We design homes, additions, commercial buildings, warehouses and industrial facilities there, and handle the permits.

Permits in Pasadena
The City of Pasadena's Permit Office reviews plans and issues building permits. Pasadena has no zoning, and city staff do not interpret deed restrictions, so we check those separately. The part of Pasadena east of State Highway 146 is in the state's windstorm area, so work there needs a TDI windstorm certificate.

Some of our work
How it works
- ConsultA free first meeting and a site visit. We listen for what you need, your budget and your timeline.
- We design itConcept plans, elevations and renderings you can react to early, while changes are still easy.
- We engineer itStructure, MEP, site and irrigation, engineered and checked against code. When a job needs it, such as industrial or complex commercial work, we engineer it with our partners.
- PermitA complete, coordinated drawing set, ready for permitting and bidding. We handle the permit process for you and expedite it until it is approved.
- We build itWe build it, or we support your builder until it stands.
Questions
Is Pasadena in the windstorm area?
Only the part of the city east of State Highway 146. We check where your lot is and design to it.
Does Pasadena have zoning?
No. Pasadena is not zoned, but deed restrictions may still apply, and the city does not interpret them. We review your restrictions before we design.
