What we deliver

Complete plan sets. Not just one discipline.

Direct PE access

Daniel De Witte, P.E. #82726, leads every project with PE-level oversight from scope through final inspection. No junior engineers. No handoffs.

Architectural Design

Full architectural drawings — floor plans, elevations, sections, and details. Coordinated with structural and MEP before delivery.

Includes design development, permit set, and construction documents.

Structural Engineering

PE-stamped structural calculations and drawings — seismic, wind, gravity, foundation, framing, lateral systems, and connection details.

CBC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, NDS, AISC code compliance on every project.

MEP Engineering

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering coordinated with the architectural and structural package. No separate consultant needed.

Eliminates the most common plan check correction trigger: MEP/structural misalignment.

Revision guarantee

If your plans require revisions due to an error or omission on Affinity's part, they are revised at no additional charge. Period.

Why this matters

The coordination gap is the problem nobody warns you about.

Most plan check corrections aren't engineering errors. They're coordination failures between separately-hired consultants.

The standard model

Three firms. Three billing relationships. Nobody owns the gap.

  • You hire arch, structural, and MEP separately

  • Drawings from separate firms don't coordinate

  • Plan check corrections nobody takes responsibility for

  • Your GC calls three people to answer one question

  • You become the project manager — unpaid

The Affinity model

One firm. Complete plan set. All disciplines aligned before submission.

  • Architecture, structural, and MEP from a single firm

  • All disciplines reviewed for coordination before plan check

  • PE oversight and stamp across the entire package

  • One number for your GC to call throughout construction

  • Project closes clean — inspector signs off without a flag
