Permit Runner

We handle it. Our permitting team manages the pipeline with the city or county on your behalf, from submission through the comment cycle until the permit is issued, so you are not the one chasing a jurisdiction or interpreting a correction letter. Permitting is a separate service with its own price rather than something bundled into the design scope automatically.

It depends on the jurisdiction. Once we submit, our own turnaround on any city or county comments is 1 to 2 business days. The review time on the jurisdiction's side varies by city and county and is outside our control, which is why we do not promise a date. We track the submission closely and keep you updated at every step.

Plan review happens before construction starts: the city or county reviews your drawings against code, and the permit is issued once the set clears review. Final inspection happens after construction, when the building official visits the site to confirm the completed work matches what was approved. One reviews the documents, the other reviews the building.

It pauses. The clock stops whenever we are waiting on you for feedback or approvals, on third parties, or on city or county review, because none of that time is under our control. Our workflow is split into parallel tracks, so your project keeps moving on other fronts even while one piece is waiting on a response.

We respond to any request within 48 business hours, whether it is a document review, a question, a clarification, or scheduling. Every phase also requires your review and approval before the next one starts, so you always know where things stand. When city or county comments come back, we respond within 48 business hours with next steps. If we are waiting on you, on a third party, or on the city, we say so.
