Design and permit drawings in San Antonio
We design projects in San Antonio from our Houston studio: homes, remodels, restaurants, retail and offices, with drawings prepared for the city's permit and design reviews.
Permits in San Antonio
San Antonio's Development Services Department reviews plans and issues building permits, with applications and documents submitted online through BuildSA. Outside the city, Bexar County Public Works issues permits for unincorporated areas.
Historic and design review
Exterior work on landmarks and in local historic districts, the River Improvement Overlay and Viewshed Protection districts, and downtown infill needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, reviewed by the Office of Historic Preservation and the Historic and Design Review Commission. We prepare the drawings and renderings the review asks for.

Questions
Does my project need historic review?
If the property is a landmark, in a local historic district, or in the River Improvement Overlay or a viewshed district, exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness. We check your address at the start.
Can you work on a San Antonio project from Houston?
Yes. We work from your survey, photos and drawings, meet by video call, and visit the site when the project needs it.
