Our Process

Simple. Transparent. Fast-Track Your Project from Start to Finish

We make the complicated world of planning, entitlements, and development effortless. Whether you're doing additions, remodels, an SB-9 lot split, a new custom home, ground-up construction, or a full commercial project — we guide you through every step with clear communication and zero surprises.

Here's Exactly How We Deliver Your Permit

On time and on budget — here's your step-by-step path to approval.

1

Free Initial Consultation & Feasibility Review

Start with a no-obligation call or meeting to review your project goals, site conditions, and zoning. During this feasibility review we identify the fastest path for your new construction, additions, remodels, SB 9 lot split, or ground up development.

  • We assess zoning, setbacks, and building codes to confirm your project is viable
  • We identify potential roadblocks before you invest in design plans
  • You get a realistic timeline and cost estimate in writing
2

Project Planning & Document Assembly

Build your complete submission package — gathering plans, surveys, reports, and all required paperwork. Our team handles the planning coordination so nothing is missing when we approach the city.

  • We create a customized checklist of required documents for your specific project type
  • We coordinate with architects and engineers to ensure drawings meet city standards
  • A complete package means faster review and fewer requests for more information
3

Entitlements & Agency Coordination

We manage all entitlements — use permits, variances, environmental reviews, and neighbor notifications. This is where most development projects get stuck; our experience gets your project approved faster.

  • We navigate complex zoning requirements and secure necessary approvals
  • We handle public hearings, neighbor notifications, and environmental compliance
  • Our relationships with city planners accelerate the approval process
4

Consultant Management & Technical Coordination

We personally direct your entire team — architects, civil engineers, soils experts, environmental consultants, geotechnical engineers, and anyone else required — keeping everyone aligned for new custom home, ground up construction, or commercial new construction projects.

  • We act as your single point of contact, eliminating coordination headaches
  • We ensure all technical reports align with city requirements
  • Our experienced team anticipates issues before they become costly delays
5

Plan Submission, Review & Revisions

Submit everything to the building, planning, fire, and public works departments. We stay on top of plan check comments and quickly resolve revisions so your additions, remodels, or ground up development move forward without delays.

  • We submit to all relevant agencies simultaneously for fastest processing
  • We respond to plan check comments within 24-48 hours to keep momentum going
  • Our expertise minimizes revision rounds, saving you time and money
6

Permit Issuance & Final Approval

Once all departments sign off, we pull your building permit, grading permit, and any utility permits. You receive your approved plans and green light to start construction.

  • We track each department's approval status and follow up proactively
  • We handle all permit fees and pick up your approved permits in person
  • You get a permit package ready for your contractor to begin work
7

Post-Permit Support (Optional)

We remain available for inspection coordination, final occupancy, or any follow-up questions until your project is complete.

  • We assist with scheduling inspections and resolving any issues that arise
  • We help coordinate final occupancy permits and close-out documents
  • Our relationship continues until you're fully settled in your new space

Average timeline savings: 30–60% faster than going it alone.
