QD Design is a HUB-certified architecture and MEP engineering firm based in Cypress, Texas that produces complete commercial permit sets for Katy: architectural drawings plus sealed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering under one contract, led by a Texas-licensed Professional Engineer. Katy sits minutes from our Cypress office, and we’ve already permitted work here through the Harris County review path that covers most Katy addresses.
Katy Project Experience
- F45 + FS8 dual fitness studios, 3170 Peek Road — A/E design for two franchise concepts with parallel Harris County permits and TDLR filings.
- Nearby: med-spa and wellness center in Cypress — same county review path.
Permitting in Katy
“Katy” spans three counties and two review worlds: inside the City of Katy limits, the city’s permit office reviews your project; the far larger unincorporated areas run through Harris County or Fort Bend County. Our F45 + FS8 dual fitness studios at 3170 Peek Road were permitted through Harris County with parallel TDLR filings. Knowing which reviewer your address answers to is step one — we confirm it before we propose. Statewide, any Texas commercial project valued over the $50,000 statutory threshold also requires TDLR registration and Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) review — we file the registration and coordinate the accessibility review as part of the package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have completed projects in Katy?
Yes — the F45 + FS8 dual fitness studios at 3170 Peek Road, designed as one architecture + MEP package with parallel Harris County permits and TDLR filings.
Who reviews commercial permits in Katy?
It depends on the address: inside the City of Katy limits, the city reviews; the much larger unincorporated areas run through Harris County or Fort Bend County. TDLR accessibility review applies statewide over the $50,000 threshold, and we file it as part of the package.
How fast can you deliver a permit set?
Typical tenant-improvement packages run 3–5 weeks from contract to submittal. On the fast end, our 25,250 SF Star Pipe industrial renovation in Houston had schematic design approved 7 days after signing. Answering plan-review comments until the permit is issued is standard scope.
