Building in Portland? Local licensure matters.

Portland’s Bureau of Development Services reviews against design overlays, the residential infill standards and a tree code that can reshape a footprint late in the game. Every architect we match is licensed in Oregon and has cleared permits with the City of Portland before.

That local fluency shows up where it counts: FAR and massing checked against the infill rules before drawings start, seismic and energy detailing done properly, and submittals the BDS reviewers recognise — so corrections stay short.
