Project availability is determined after reviewing the scope, project location, jurisdictional requirements and required engineering disciplines. Additional insurance or specialty clearance may be required before contract or production.

Customer trigger

Permit problems this service is built to resolve

Rejected plans

Review the full comment set, identify missing engineering, and organize a correction path before another resubmittal.

Stop-work or unpermitted work

  • Complete correction notice or stop-work document
  • Current and previously submitted plan sets
  • Existing-condition photographs

Responsible-charge statement

Engineering services are performed under the responsible charge of the appropriately licensed Grand Street Engineering professional for the applicable project and jurisdiction. Grand Street Engineering does not offer after-the-fact sealing, rubber stamping, or a stamp-only service.

Owner, equipment, geometry, criteria, or scope changes require a written change order. Final issuance remains subject to professional review and required payment.

Scope and availability review

Start with the facts you already have

Include the project address, AHJ, requested service, current problem, permit comments, deadline, and decision-makers. The five-minute response target applies during operating hours; the same-day proposal standard applies after qualification and sufficient scope information.

Frequently asked questions

Scope and payment questions

Can you guarantee the permit will be approved?

No. Grand Street can prepare and support the accepted engineering scope, but the AHJ makes the approval decision.

When is payment requested?

Payment is requested only after the project is scoped, availability is confirmed, and a written proposal is accepted. Additional records may follow through the approved secure upload path.

Is every correction a professional-engineering issue?

No. The comment set must be reviewed. Some items may belong to the architect, contractor, owner, surveyor, specialty vendor, or another discipline.

Do you sell a stamp for plans prepared elsewhere?

No. Engineering services are performed under the responsible charge of the appropriately licensed Grand Street Engineering professional for the applicable project and jurisdiction.
