Another Set of Preliminary Drawings

I got ANOTHER set of “Preliminary Drawings” from the builder. I don’t know how many different preliminary drawings I’m going to get. These have a 3D diagram of the house (below), foundation plan, floor and attic plan, sheer wall, electrical layout and energy information, cross sections, etc. To me, it seems pretty close to permit ready. They will NOW be sent off to engineering which takes a “few” weeks. I also received a bid for excavation, which was 3x what was in my head, but after talking to some other people, that’s actually what’s expected.

I started filling out the building permit. The builder recommends using a permit specialist, but I’m going to attempt to do it myself. It can’t be that hard. I’m just hoping we will be digging the foundation before the end of this year!!!
