I had used a company online to design an outdoor pavilion. They provided me simple plans on a pdf file (no seal or signature). When I submitted them to the township (i live in NJ) the subcode official came back with this:
"The submitted plans are required to be signed & sealed by a New Jersey Licensed Architect and conform to International Residential Code 2015NJ. The permit will be in my hold bin until received."
I have tried to contact the designer to find out about providing me a seal, but they have not responded. Other architects want to re-do everything from scratch in order to provide their seal (lots of $). I did see that a homeowner can submit plans without a seal, so I'm wondering if I can just redraw these and resubmit (its a pretty basic design). Will that work? Any other options?
