The Permitting Process
Pre‑Filing & Planning
Gather design documents and site information, working with your architect/engineer.
Our team helps review plans and confirm filing strategy so you’re ready from the start.
Plan Filing & Review
Everything is prepared and filed accurately and efficiently, ensuring a process free of roadblocks.
Applications go into the queue. Typical review times can vary from a few business days to several months.
Permit Issuance
Once approved, applications are stamped and ready for microfilming and permit request.
Many permits are issued within a couple business days after submission, assuming paperwork and insurance are in order.
Inspection & Closeout
After work begins on the project, the necessary inspections are requested and scheduled to ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
Once inspections pass and any final sign-offs are obtained, the job is complete.
