Permit Plans in Orlando, FL: Coordinated Sets That Clear City Review the First Time
HB Design and Engineering prepares permit-ready plan sets for Orlando developers, GCs, and builders, with architecture, structural, and MEP drawn and reconciled under one roof so the City of Orlando is not the one catching conflicts between trades. One coordinated submittal, built for how Orange County actually reviews.

How Orlando review actually works
Orlando intake runs through the Orlando Digital Permits portal on ProjectDox, and the most common cause of delay is not the design. It is an incomplete or inconsistent application that triggers a correction cycle before substantive review even starts. A missing discipline, missing wind load calculations, or architectural sheets that do not match the structural set will bounce a package on intake. City review then runs about 2 to 5 business days for simple residential permits, 3 to 6 weeks for additions and remodels, and 6 to 8 weeks for commercial. When the queue would blow your schedule, Florida Statute 553.791 lets you route review through a licensed private provider, which can turn weeks into days. We help you decide when that path is worth it.
How it works
1. Send us the project. We scope every discipline and quote a flat fee with comment responses included.
2. We draw and reconcile the full set in house, then assemble and label it for ProjectDox so it lands clean on intake.
3. If the City comments, one point of contact prepares the response and resubmits fast, because a stalled permit is a stalled crew.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually gets an Orlando permit set rejected?
What actually gets an Orlando permit set rejected?
Almost always an incomplete or inconsistent submission: a missing discipline, missing wind load calculations, or conflicts between the architectural, structural, and MEP sheets. Because we produce the full set in house and reconcile it before submission, those are caught before the City ever sees them.
Can a private provider speed up my Orlando permit?
Often, yes. Florida Statute 553.791 lets you use a licensed private provider for plan review instead of the City queue, which can cut a six-to-eight-week commercial review to one to three weeks. We help you weigh whether it fits your project and timeline.
