Can you engineer plans I bought online for my building location?

Yes. Upload your plan set and tell us where you are building. Our U.S.-based team reviews your plans and local requirements, identifies the engineering and document updates needed for your site, and confirms the scope, fee, and schedule with you. Your engineering is handled by engineers licensed for your project location.

Is all of the engineering really done in the United States?

Yes. All TVP engineering work is performed by U.S.-based engineers. We do not send engineering work overseas. Your project is handled by engineers licensed and authorized for the state and jurisdiction where you are building.

What should I submit to get my project moving?
