What We Provide
Permit-Ready Plans:
Building Design with the Builder in Mind
Sunrise Design Services has been producing permit-ready plan packages for over 20 years. In that time we have worked closely with plans reviewers, inspectors, contractors & developers to create a standardized plan format that provides an accurate, code-compliant set of plans that building officials can reliably approve and builders can profit from. We take great pride in our excellent approval rate in many jurisdictions throughout the Pacific Northwest.
All plans are provided “permit-ready” in compliance with applicable state and/or county
code requirements and designed to the projects specific site conditions & criteria using
Prescriptive Design methods.

- Elevations
- Floor Plan Views
- Foundation Plan
- Cross-Section[s]
