From a napkin to a dock.
A U-shaped slip dock on Lake Norman, drafted from a hand sketch, engineered as a framing model, then built to the same dimensions.
The exchange
Four things in, a full set out.
What we need from you
- Property address
- A rough drawing
- Lake-authority or HOA constraints
- Approximate shoreline frontage
A survey is not required.
What you get back
- Dimensioned site plan
- Framing and section details
- Square-footage budget against the governing cap
- Permitting checklist
- Client-ready photorealistic renderings (Sales Rendering, Design Set + Renderings, and Builder Retainer)
Delivered as PDF; the Sales Rendering, Design Set + Renderings, and Builder Retainer tiers also deliver renders as individual image files.

Jurisdiction
Where we’re competent.
We produce permit sets for Duke Energy Lake Management on Lake Norman, and work to USACE Nationwide Permit and NCDEQ requirements.
Working outside these? Send us the reviewing agency’s checklist and we’ll confirm scope in 24 hours.
Lake Norman permitting guideWhy independent drawings
Outsourced, not offloaded.
Consistent submittal quality
The same hand draws every set, so an agency sees the same package format project after project.
Fewer resubmissions
Square footage is budgeted against the governing cap before the set goes out, not after a rejection.
No drafting headcount
Nothing to carry between projects, and nothing idle in a slow month.
Capacity that flexes
Take one set or take 3 a month on retainer. The price per project doesn't change either way.
Regular volume? Ask about the retainer.
The Builder Retainer gets you 3 drawing sets a month on one monthly account — white-labeled, rush fees waived, with a priority production slot instead of per-project queuing, and 10% off the permitting and engineering tiers.
What builders say
“The turnaround was fast, the details were outstanding, and the finished product exceeded my expectations.”
