  • Permit Drawings & Construction Documents

    Permit drawings are required before construction may begin in Mandarin.

    We prepare documentation including:

    • Architectural floor plans
    • Roof plans
    • Exterior elevations
    • Building sections
    • Life safety plans
    • Code compliance summaries

    Clear and organized construction documents allow city officials to verify compliance and help contractors execute work accurately.

    Incomplete documentation may result in delays during the review process.

  • Certificate of Use & Change of Use in Mandarin

    Many commercial projects in Mandarin require a Certificate of Use (COU) before a business may operate.

    A COU verifies that:

    • The property is properly zoned
    • The occupancy classification is appropriate
    • The building complies with applicable codes

    If a proposed occupancy differs from the previous certified use, a Change of Use or Converting Use permit may be required.

    We prepare documentation necessary to support these applications and respond to review comments when required.

  • Zoning & Code Considerations in Mandarin

    Projects in Mandarin must comply with Jacksonville zoning regulations as well as state building codes.

    Before preparing final construction documents, we review:

    • Zoning designation
    • Permitted use
    • Setback requirements
    • Height limitations
    • Lot coverage restrictions

    Certain properties may fall within overlay districts or have additional development standards.

    Understanding these requirements early in the process helps prevent delays during plan review.
