About SitePlans.us – We Don’t Just Draw Lines, We Eliminate Redlines
From Land Surveyor to Permit‑Confidence Partner
One founder, 15 years of experience, thousands of permit cycles – and a single mission: help homeowners get their site plans approved without costly revisions.
Founder Story (RAJA – Professional Land Surveyor)
I started working with US land development in 2020, but my foundation goes back to a decade‑plus as a Professional Land Surveyor. I’ve studied land development manuals, city ordinances, and subdivision regulations from nearly every county – long before AI or online templates existed.
The first few years I saw the same heartbreaking pattern:
A homeowner spends weeks designing their dream ADU, garage, or pool.
They submit a hand‑drawn sketch or a cheap online template.
The city reviewer rejects it for reasons the homeowner never knew existed – wrong setback measurement, missing flood fringe note, unclear utility connection.
Weeks turn into months. Holding costs stack. The project stalls.
That’s when I stopped just “drawing lines” and started building a permit‑approval system.
Two early cases that changed everything:
Shoreline dispute – overturned a 10,000fine
A water front property owner was accused of causing shore line erosion by removing trees. The county threatened a penalty. We analyzed satellite imagery from 1962 to 2024 and proved the shoreline had shifted naturally due to boat traffic and geology – not human activity. The county dropped the case.

House built backward in Colorado Springs
A home had been constructed in reverse of the approved plans. The city demanded a retrospective site plan with 50+ correction requests. We delivered a compliant, permit‑ready plan that satisfied every reviewer comment. The project finally moved forward.

The Breakthrough: Naming “Revision Lag”
In 2026 I spotted a hidden pain that no one in the homebuilding industry had a name for.
Builders and developers were bleeding money – not from bad construction, but from revision cycles that kicked in during due diligence, pre‑acquisition, and entitlement. Every revision triggered delays, carry costs, and handoff taxes between surveyors, engineers, and drafters.
I called it “Revision Lag.”
The solution? Identify geodetic conflicts before they become redlines – mismatches between county parcel lines, deeds, and legal descriptions. Catch them early, and you prevent the loss cycle.
That insight now powers our pre‑acquisition risk audit and informs every site plan we deliver.
Our Future Vision: Empowering Every Homeowner
We are building a suite of tools to put permit confidence directly into homeowners’ hands:
SitePlans.AI – an AI system that will let homeowners generate basic, city‑compliant site plans themselves.
Explore SitePlans.AIPre‑Acquisition Risk Audit – catch hidden boundary and entitlement conflicts before you buy the land.
Learn moreCity Requirements Tool – a simple lookup to know whether your project needs a certified or non‑certified site plan for an ADU, deck, pool, addition, or new construction.

My personal mission: make SitePlans.us the brand of a nation – where every homeowner in the USA can create a city‑compliant site plan themselves, without relying on generic drafters or expensive surveyors.
“The first founding fathers of the United States were land surveyors. They understood the land better than anyone. That spirit of precision and independence is what we bring to every permit.” – Raja
