The Most Practical Way for CA Contractors to Permit Jobs

Seasonal was created to give California HVAC contractors a faster, simpler way to get permit-ready documentation for small-to-medium mechanical projects. When a job needs drawings, Title 24 forms, AHRI documentation, equipment cut sheets, city submittal support, or plan check responses, we provide a focused permitting package built around what the jurisdiction actually needs.Instead of pushing every project through a slow traditional design process, Seasonal gives contractors a clear online intake process, practical engineering review, and permit-focused deliverables that help keep jobs moving. Whether the scope is an HVAC replacement, heat pump installation, mini-split system, ductwork modification, equipment relocation, or other mechanical permit need, the goal is simple: help contractors get the documentation they need without unnecessary delay or complexity.

Our Approach

Seasonal is built around a straightforward idea: contractors need permitting support that is accurate, responsive, and easy to work with. Every project is reviewed with attention to scope, equipment documentation, Title 24 requirements, local submittal expectations, and the practical realities of getting work approved and installed. Our job is not to overcomplicate the process. It is to produce clear, permit-focused documents, communicate quickly, respond to plan check comments, and help contractors move from project intake to permit approval as efficiently as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my project doesn't fall under your "project types" list?

Because of the broad nature of mechanical design, there are far too many possible project types to list them all on our homepage, however we're ready to support varying levels of complexity, up to high end residential and mid-tier commercial. Odds are, if your project relates to the mechanical trades, we can produce a permit set for you and provide the support you need, even adding a Mechanical P.E. stamp if needed. Our advice - go ahead and submit your project anyway, and we'll give you a call to discuss the details.

Can you submit the permit set to the city for us and provide plan check support?

Yes, we can also handle permit submittal and the plan check process for a small additional cost built into your initial quote. We're happy to provide a full-scope submittal process for you including initial submittal, correspondence with city officials, and plan check responses. Simply check the box labelled "Permit Submission & Plan Check Responses Done For You" when filling out our quote form.

Do you provide Title 24 support?

Yes, we absolutely can provide Title 24 support, including reviewing your design for compliance, generating Title 24 documentation plan sheets required for permitting, registering your job with CHEERS, and more.

What exactly do you need to create the drawing set?

• Project Address
• Approx. Conditioned Floor Area & Year Built
• Scope of Work (1 Paragraph)
• New Equipment Model Numbers & Quantity
• Existing Equipment Model Numbers & Quantity
• Basic Hand-Drawn Sketch of (N) Equipment Locations
• Basic Electrical Service/Panel Info
• Sketch of Duct Modifications, If Applicable
