Building in Seattle? Local licensure matters.

Seattle’s SDCI reviews against environmentally critical areas, steep-slope and tree rules, plus a DADU code that changes what fits on a lot far more than square footage does. Every architect we match is licensed in Washington and has cleared permits with the City of Seattle before.

That local fluency shows up where it counts: ECA and setback exceptions identified before design starts, Seattle Energy Code compliance built into the set, and submittals formatted for SDCI’s online intake — so you spend less time in correction cycles and more time building.
