When Is a Licensed Architect Required?

Not every residential project requires the services of a licensed architect. In Oregon and Washington, many residential projects can be legally planned and drafted by an experienced residential architectural draftsman.Projects such as single-family homes, home additions, ADUs, and accessory structures often fall within exemptions that allow permit-ready plans to be prepared without an architect’s stamp.However, certain projects may require the involvement of a licensed architect or engineer, depending on factors such as:

• Building size or height
• Occupancy type
• Structural complexity
• Local jurisdiction requirements

If a project requires professional stamping or engineering review, I coordinate with licensed professionals to ensure all permitting requirements are met.
