Joe_Carrick 2313 Posted September 10, 2020 Site plan preparation is one of the things I hate to do. I'll be using this service in the future. Their Reviews are all positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how that was obtained, So, apparently they do it by guessing based on information provided by someone who doesn't know what they are doing. These drawings might be okay for starting a discussion with a client, but it would scare the heck out of me to design anything for a permit based on these non-educated guesses. The drawings have a very deceptive appearance of precision. Personally, I would look at Magicplan.app, used with an iPad Pro (with LiDAR). You can scan a single room in under a minute with all door/window openings shown reasonably accurately. It draws everything in 3D and draws all this automatically for you with dimensions, from which you can then export a DXF file to import into Chief. If you want even more accuracy (which isn't that bad with LiDAR), you can use this in conjunction with a Bluetooth laser measuring device. AND take integrated photos with notes.

dshall 1491 Posted September 11, 2020 The lot dimensions as drawn are very suspect . We are getting site surveyed. I am curious as to how accurate it is. If this site matches surveyed site I will be very impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dshall 1491 Posted September 11, 2020 No, the assessors plat is unreadable, the original plot was 50x105, it is a corner lot where they closed a portion of one street and the ROW was 60’ AFTER the closure, some of the closure went to lot which increased the size but it was an easement with a subeasement in there and in 1961 some added a detached garage in ROW an d 3’ from curb with a pending remove garage out of ROW order and it is Thursday today.... so the answer is no, I would like a survey or at least a civil engineer to interpret the written Minho jumbo that describes said lot. it is La Jolla, we can afford to do it right.

Wow, that's a story and should have figured you would have tried the easiest method first. Does sound like at least s survey is in order. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AvoyeDesign 134 Posted Wednesday at 08:48 PM Hooboy, why would I outsource this? Do they research through the bylaws to determine setbacks and other restrictions? Do they deterime parking requirements? Lane width requirements? Footpaths? Open space? This is just weird and the price range seems suspect to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They might come to me this year. Whenever you buy something in La Jolla, I think it takes some time to get your feet under you again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
