Permit Plans in Tampa: Complete Sets That Clear Construction Services the First Pass

HB Design and Engineering draws permit-ready plan sets for Tampa builders and developers, then drives them through City of Tampa plan review as the professional of record. One coordinated set, filed on Accela, built to clear on the first pass.

How it works

1. Send us your drawings and project scope.

2. We draw and reconcile architecture, structural, and MEP into one set.

3. We file it on Accela, formatted the way Construction Services wants to read it.

4. We answer every plan-review comment directly and resubmit until it clears.

What you get

This is the space to introduce the Features section. Use this space to highlight your unique aspects and to present specific credentials, benefits or special features you offer.

  • One coordinated submittal that agrees with itself, instead of five discipline packages the reviewer has to cross-check

  • A set formatted for Accela Citizen Access, with wind, flood, and energy documentation where the reviewer expects it

  • Comment responses and resubmittals handled by the professional of record, at no extra charge

  • Phasing and deferred submittals structured so foundation and structure can move while later packages finalize

Clearing Tampa plan review

The design is rarely what gets a Tampa set kicked back. Internal conflict is. An architectural package that does not match the structural sheets, a missing energy form, wind documentation that assumes the wrong exposure.

 

City of Tampa Construction Services reads for those first, and standard review runs about 10 to 15 business days per cycle.

​

Every bounce costs you another cycle. We reconcile all three disciplines before the set goes up on Accela, put the wind and flood detail where the reviewer looks for it, and keep the professional of record on the file so comments close on the next cycle instead of the third or fourth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does City of Tampa require in a permit submittal?

A complete set filed through Accela Citizen Access, carrying FBC 2023 compliance, ASCE 7 wind documentation, flood elevation detail where the site needs it, and the energy compliance forms. We assemble all of it into the set rather than leaving pieces for you to chase after the first comment.

Can you handle comment responses for Hillsborough County jobs?

Yes, at no extra charge. When Construction Services or another Hillsborough jurisdiction returns comments, the professional of record revises the affected sheets and resubmits, usually within a couple of business days. That is why our resubmittals tend to close on the next cycle.
