There are many ways to get a site plan created for your property. To save you time let’s cover those options now!
Top ways to get a site plan for your property
- Hire an architect
- Hire an engineer
- Create the site plan yourself
- Utilize Property Site Plan for your site plan needs for a low cost quick solution (Of course we are going to put our selves here, we should have put us at #1!)
Let’s break down the positives and the negatives for each option:
Hire an architect:
Positives:
- Very knowledgeable
- Understands the site plan process for large projects
- A great option if you need the site plan to be professionally stamped
Negatives:
- A site plan for a smaller site may not be of much interest to them (they typically focus on larger projects)
- Cost prohibitive. (because they work on larger projects but decide to work with you their costs could be high) A professional architect’s hourly wage could be around $200 to $400+
- Schedule. Because your project is smaller it may take them a couple weeks to turn it around for you and communication could suffer during that time.
Hire a civil engineer:
Positives:
- Very knowledgeable for everything outside of the building.
- Understands the site plan process for larger projects.
- They can stamp the site plans as well if needed.
Negatives:
- The same negatives apply to civil engineers. They typically work on larger projects and just might not have time for a small project like this. And if they do they could be really expensive.
Do the site plan yourself:
Positives:
- You can save some money.
- You can learn a skill and if you need a lot of site plans you could produce them quicker than an architect or civil engineer.
Negatives:
- You will need to use a computer aided drafting software. Here is the cost of autocad which many architects and engineers use for site plan creation.
- The time to learn the software could affect your schedule.
- It will be more effective to use Property Site Plan!

- We will perform revisions until the site plan is approved with no added fees.
- We are one click away from starting your site plan and you receiving it tomorrow.
Negatives:

If you have more questions about a site plan please check our more in depth post about site plans and everything that is involved with them.
We always recommend talking with someone at your city or county to get an understanding of what your project might need. The cities and counties typically have great resources on their websites.
