Getting Projects Ready for Approval
Permit application work in pre-construction includes reviewing authority requirements, coordinating submission documents, and tracking approval timelines. Drawings and supporting information are aligned to submission checklists, and revisions are managed as part of the review process. Permit timelines are considered alongside the preliminary construction schedule to support a coordinated transition into site work.
If permit requirements or approval timelines are unclear, we provide permit application support to help coordinate submissions and manage approvals during pre-construction.

Permits are required to confirm that a project complies with applicable building codes, zoning regulations, and safety requirements set by the authority having jurisdiction. Securing permits ensures work can proceed legally and reduces the risk of stop-work orders, redesigns, or compliance issues during construction.
Permit requirements vary by project scope and location, but commonly include building permits, zoning approvals, and discipline-specific permits such as structural, mechanical, electrical, or fire protection. Identifying required permits early helps align drawings, schedules, and inspection sequencing.
Approval timelines depend on project complexity, submission completeness, and municipal review workloads. Early coordination, accurate documentation, and timely responses to review comments help avoid unnecessary delays and support more predictable approval timelines.
Yes. Delays can occur due to incomplete submissions, design revisions, or additional information requests from reviewing authorities. Managing permits early and tracking review comments closely helps reduce the impact of these delays on the overall construction schedule.
No. Permit coordination can be handled on the client’s behalf, including preparing submissions, tracking reviews, and coordinating responses with consultants. Clients are kept informed of status, timing, and any issues that may affect the project schedule.
