About this service
Most jurisdictions in DC, MD, and VA require stamped architectural drawings before they will accept a permit application. AI concept packages identify what drawings you need — this service delivers them. A licensed architect or PE reviews your Kealee concept, produces a permit-ready drawing set, and provides the PE stamp where required.
Who this is for
Homeowners and developers who have completed an AI concept package and need stamped architectural drawings to file a permit in DC, MD, or VA.
Common questions
When do I need stamped architectural drawings?
Most structural changes, additions, ADUs, and multi-trade renovations in DC, MD, and VA require stamped drawings before the jurisdiction will accept a permit application. Your AI concept report flags when this applies.
Why can't I use my AI concept package for permit filing?
AI concept packages are planning-level documents — they identify scope, cost, and permit requirements. Jurisdictions require permit-ready drawings prepared and stamped by a licensed architect or PE. This service bridges that gap.
How does the architect use my existing Kealee concept?
Your Kealee concept gives the architect the design direction, scope summary, and site context. This reduces back-and-forth and speeds up the drawing process significantly compared to starting from scratch.
Do all projects need a PE stamp?
Structural changes, load-bearing modifications, additions, and most ADU projects require a PE stamp. Cosmetic-only projects with architectural changes (no structural work) may only need an architect's seal. We confirm which applies to your project after intake.
