High-quality site design for builders and architects

Often, yes. Metro Nashville and the surrounding cities typically require a site plan with grading and drainage for new homes, rebuilds and larger additions. I'll tell you what applies to your lot after looking at the survey.

Some lots are marked critical on the subdivision plat, usually because of steep slopes or other site constraints. Building on one generally requires a sealed critical lot plan showing grading, drainage and erosion control before a permit is issued.

In Metro Nashville, new homes, rebuilds and additions that add 800 to 15,000 sq ft of net new impervious area fall under Regulated Residential Infill. Projects are sorted into Tier I (800 to 2,500 sq ft), Tier II (2,500 to 8,000) or Tier III (8,000 to 15,000). Most must capture the first inch of runoff from the added area, and Tier III also needs a PE-certified design with no increase in the 10-year peak flow.

Often. A pool, deck, pool house or sport court adds impervious area and changes how the yard drains. In Metro Nashville, adding 800 sq ft or more of net new impervious area brings the project under residential infill review. Belle Meade, Forest Hills, Oak Hill and the surrounding cities each have their own requirements, and I'll check which apply to your lot.

Yes. They are separate cities within Davidson County with their own zoning, building and site plan review, separate from Metro Nashville's. I prepare plans to each city's own requirements, as well as for Metro Nashville and the surrounding counties.

Yes. I prepare residential plans for Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Mt. Juliet, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Clarksville and the other communities listed below, following each city's or county's own requirements. I'm also licensed in Kentucky and Illinois and take projects there.
