Depending on your location or level of service you require C3 can for example handle the printing of all of your architectural drawings (Black and White and Color), as well any smaller plans and application papers. We assemble printed documents in the expected order and format, then take the building permit packet to the city and submit your commercial building permit application to the city.   We also handle EPR or Electronic Plan Review building permits for many of our clients at the city of Houston.
