Have questions? We have answers.
What types of projects do you handle?

How do I get started?

How long does the permitting process take?

Every city and project is different, but we know the system, the rules, and how to work with city officials so we move your permit forward as quickly as possible.

What happens if I get a code violation or a Stop Work Order?

We step in right away, communicate with the city, and create a plan to bring your project back into compliance.

Do you provide after-the-fact permits?

Yes. We legalize unpermitted work by securing after-the-fact permits. The process depends on the project and jurisdiction requirements, so reach out to us for a case review.

What if my contractor disappeared or scammed me?

We can file a Change of Contractor, assign a licensed professional, and take over any open permits to ensure your project continues without delays.

Can you also handle the construction work, not just the permits?

Yes. With licensed and insured contractors in-house, we can manage both the permitting and the construction.

Can you provide architectural or engineering plans?

Yes. We have licensed architects and engineers in-house to provide complete plans when needed.

Do you handle land & property surveys?

Yes. We arrange surveys when required for permitting or compliance.

Can you help with vacation rental (Airbnb/VRBO) licensing and inspections?

Yes. We handle the full process for short-term rental licensing, including city inspections.

Do you work with HOAs and condo associations?

Yes. We coordinate approvals and provide all required paperwork for HOAs and associations.

How will you keep me updated on progress?

You’ll receive regular updates by phone or email, and we’re always available for questions.

What happens if the city issues comments or rejects my submittal?

We review the comments, revise the plans, and resubmit quickly until approval is granted.

How quickly can you start on my case?

Usually within 24–48 hours of your consultation.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. Every project starts with a free consultation to review your needs and explain next steps.

What documents do I need to apply for a permit?

It depends on the project, but usually property information, drawings/plans, surveys, and contractor details are required. We’ll guide you through exactly what’s needed, and in some cases we can help issue certain documents for you.

What are the consequences of starting construction without a permit?

Starting construction without a permit can lead to heavy fines, Stop Work Orders, costly delays, and even tearing down completed work. Every successful project begins with the right permits and a solid plan, we make sure you’re set up correctly from the start.

If I already have fines, can you help reduce them?

Yes. In many cases, we work directly with the city to negotiate and reduce fines by up to 90%. Results depend on the specific case, so contact us to review your situation.
