Sunriver SROA Approval Experts
Design, submittals, and compliance - made simple. We handle the entire SROA process so your Sunriver project clears Design Committee review the first time, with no surprises.
Complete SROA Design & Approval Services
From the first site visit to the final inspection, we manage every step of the Sunriver Owners Association approval process for you.
On-Site Consultations
We start at your property to understand the site, your goals, and any SROA constraints before a single line is drawn.
SROA-Compliant Design Concepts
Every concept is drawn to the Sunriver Design Manual from day one, so it aligns with the community's guidelines.
2D & 3D Renderings
Clear 2D plans and realistic 3D renderings so you - and the Design Committee - can see exactly what's proposed.
Form E Preparation & Submission
We prepare and submit Form E and the complete application package to SROA on your behalf.
Design Committee Coordination
We represent your project with the SROA Design Committee and answer their questions directly.
Revision Handling
If the committee requests changes, we revise and resubmit - no extra runaround on your end.
Final SROA Inspections
We coordinate the final SROA inspection and close the project out clean and approved.
SROA Approval vs. Deschutes County Permits
A common surprise for Sunriver homeowners: these are two different approvals. We run both in parallel so neither holds you up.
SROA Design Review
Reviews the exterior design against the community's aesthetic and site guidelines - materials, colors, height, setbacks, and tree preservation. Required before you build.
Deschutes County Building Permit
Reviews the structure for building-code compliance - framing, footings, snow loads, and safety. Required for the construction itself.
We manage both processes - so your project moves forward without falling into the gap between them.
Typical SROA Project Timeline
Every project is different, but here's the path most Sunriver SROA projects follow from first call to final sign-off.
Site Visit
We assess the property and discuss your vision and goals.
Engineering (if required)
We coordinate a stamped structural design when the project needs one.
Design, Renderings & Proposal
We produce the compliant design, 2D/3D renderings, and a detailed proposal.
Tentative Scheduling
We pencil in a construction window so you can plan around it.
SROA Design Committee Submission
We submit Form E and the package and represent your project in review.
Deschutes County Permitting
We submit for and obtain the county building permit.
Final Scheduling & Construction Start
With approvals in hand, we lock the schedule and break ground.
Inspections & Project Closeout
We coordinate inspections all the way through final sign-off.
Flat-Fee SROA Design & Submission Package
One clear, flat fee for the full design-and-approval package - so you know the cost up front, before you commit to building.
What's Included
- On-site consultation & site assessment
- SROA-compliant design concept
- 2D plans & 3D renderings
- Form E preparation & submission
- Design Committee coordination
- Revision handling through approval
Why a Flat Fee
SROA submittals are detailed and easy to underestimate. A flat fee means no hourly surprises - you get a complete, review-ready package for one agreed price, whether it takes one round or three.
And because we build what we draw, the design is realistic and constructible from the start - not a concept that falls apart at permit.
Request the SROA PackageTrusted, Experienced Sunriver Contractor
We live and build in Central Oregon and have guided many Sunriver projects through SROA review. We know the Design Manual, the committee's expectations, and the county's requirements - and we know how to keep a project moving through both.
Because we're the contractor and the design partner, there's no finger-pointing between a designer and a builder. One team owns it from concept to keys.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most about the Sunriver approval process.
What is SROA approval?
SROA approval is the Sunriver Owners Association's design review of any exterior project. The Design Committee checks your plans against the Sunriver Design Manual - materials, colors, height, setbacks, and tree preservation - before construction can begin.
Do I really need both SROA approval and a county permit?
For most structural projects, yes. SROA reviews the design for the community's guidelines; Deschutes County reviews the structure for building code. They're separate tracks, and we manage both in parallel so neither stalls your project.
How long does SROA approval take?
It varies with the project and the committee's schedule, but a clean, compliant submission moves fastest. Because we design to the manual from the start and handle revisions promptly, we keep review time as short as possible.
What is Form E?
Form E is the SROA application for exterior changes and new construction. We prepare it - along with the renderings and supporting documents - and submit the complete package on your behalf.
Can you handle revisions if the committee requests changes?
Yes. Revision handling is part of our flat-fee package. If the committee asks for changes, we revise the design and resubmit until it's approved - with no extra runaround for you.
How much does the SROA package cost?
We offer the SROA design and submission work as a transparent flat fee, quoted up front after a quick consultation, so there are no hourly surprises. Reach out and we'll walk you through it.
