Hi, I recently assisted a homeowner in New Jersey with permitting a segmental block retaining wall, where I refined their sketch, prepared basic structural details, and coordinated submission documents with the township. I also supported a small hillside stabilization project in Pennsylvania by developing drainage details and helping secure approval through the local building department. I'd love to share my experiences with you. Best regards, Epa

Hi, how are you doing? I can help you prepare a complete and permit-ready retaining wall submission based on your rough sketch, ensuring it aligns with local residential building code requirements. I have experience supporting civil and structural projects where initial concepts are refined into compliant drawings and documentation suitable for permit approval. For your project, I will review your sketch, identify key structural requirements (height, load, drainage, soil conditions), and translate it into a clear permit package including basic structural notes, dimensions, and details typically required by local authorities. I can also guide you through the permitting steps and help communicate with the relevant building department if clarification is needed during review. My focus is on making the process smooth, compliant, and approval-oriented so you avoid delays or rejections. Best regards, Timothy
