From early scope to plan-check coordination
Retail and office design
Commercial drawings for new layouts, modifications to openings and building systems, and appropriate technical consultant input.
Commercial permit coordination
Plan-check preparation and tracking of required architectural, structural, Title 24, MEP and fire/life-safety scope as applicable.
Professional requirements
Correct documentation for the project and jurisdiction.
Commercial architectural work can require a California-registered architect and specialty engineering professionals. AHAE can coordinate the appropriate professional services based on the proposed work; the responsible registered professionals and project scope must be confirmed before engagement.
For example, Inglewood requires an architect's stamp and signature on architectural plans for new commercial construction and commercial tenant improvements as of January 5, 2026.
