Studio

A drawing before a demolition.

YardPermit exists because backyard projects fail in the same three places: a rule nobody read, a quantity nobody counted, and a number somebody invented. We build the lot in public — typical patterns, dimensional calculators, and a place to hang a real source when we have one.

We are not a contractor, not an architect of record, and not your building department. We are a publishing system for people who want to walk into city hall with better questions.

Requirements vary by jurisdiction and by the specifics of a project. YardPermit publishes educational patterns and labeled estimates — not legal determinations, not construction documents, and not a bid. Verify with your local building department and a licensed contractor before you build.
