Residential Site Plans: Who do I hire?

I'm analyzing a possible new development deal and when checking with the city, they have provided a checklist of what they need to see in the site plans that get submitted for approval.

Complete sets of plans consist of the following:

  • Three (3) complete sets of plans wet stamped and signed.
  • Two (2) wet stamped and signed Structural calculations.
  • Two (2) wet signed Title-24 calculations. Two (2) wet stamped and signed Truss calculations, if used. Truss calculations must be stamped and signed by truss engineer and structural engineer of record.
  • Foundation plan.
  • Complete floor plan.
  • Elevations. Indicate the height of structures.
  • Framing plans/sections
  • Plumbing isometric indicating water demand, water meter size and calculations.
  • Mechanical plans
  • Electrical plans
  • Site plan

My question is who exactly do I approach about getting theses plans created? Is it my architect who draws up the plans and subs out the plans for electrical / plumbing etc?

Or do I need to do a piecemeal approach where I hire an architect, structural engineer (foundation), plumber, electrician, civil engineer, etc?

Could someone fill me on who's area of responsibility the creation of these plans belong to and who I should approach to get the plans delivered?
