[ 01 ]
Building Permits
Navigating the complexities of building permits is a breeze with our expert team. We streamline the process, ensuring all necessary permits are obtained promptly, keeping your project on track.
— for example:
A/B/R Permit
A permit refers to a building permit or construction permit. B permit refers to a business permit or license. R Permit refers to residential zoning or usage.
CFO (Certificate of Occupancy) Permit
It is an official document issued by a local government indicating that a building or a specific unit within a building complies with the applicable building codes and is suitable for occupancy.
Revocable Permit
This permit ensures that encroachments are checked for compliance with the City’s specifications for design, use, material, and inspection.
[ 02 ]
Violations
Navigating violation notices can be complex and time-sensitive. Our team handles the process from start to finish—resolving outstanding issues, coordinating with city agencies, and ensuring your project is back in compliance quickly and efficiently.
— for example:
Order to Comply
A notice issued by the local building department requiring the property owner to address code violations within a specified timeframe.
Stop Work Order
An official directive to halt construction until specific issues are resolved, such as unsafe conditions, missing permits, or code violations.
Substandard Order
Issued when a property is deemed unsafe or noncompliant with habitability standards, requiring immediate repair or remediation.
[ 03 ]
Easements
Easements can impact property use, development potential, and design. We assist in identifying, reviewing, and processing easement documents to protect your rights and ensure your project moves forward without unnecessary legal or logistical setbacks.
— for example:
Utility Easement
Grants utility companies the right to install and maintain infrastructure like power lines, sewer pipes, or water mains on a property.
Access Easement
Provides a third party the right to cross or use part of a property for access purposes, often necessary for landlocked parcels.
Drainage Easement
Allows for the flow of stormwater or natural drainage across a property to prevent flooding and erosion.
[ 04 ]
Utilities
From new service connections to relocations and upgrades, we coordinate directly with utility providers to ensure your project’s water, power, gas, and sewer needs are met. Our streamlined approach eliminates delays and ensures all connections are safe, compliant, and operational on schedule.
— for example:
New Utility Connection
Establishing water, power, gas, or sewer service for new construction projects.
Service Upgrade
Increasing capacity or modernizing existing systems to meet higher usage demands or new code requirements.
Utility Relocation
Moving existing utility lines or equipment to accommodate construction or redevelopment plans.
[ 05 ]
Communication & Reporting
Clear, timely communication keeps your project moving and your team informed. We provide structured updates, detailed reports, and act as the liaison between you, contractors, consultants, and city officials—ensuring no detail is overlooked.
— for example:
Weekly Progress Reports
Summarized updates on project milestones, pending tasks, and next steps.
Stakeholder Coordination
Regular communication with all parties involved to align schedules, resolve issues, and avoid delays.
Permit Status Tracking
Real-time updates on all pending applications and approvals.
[ 06 ]
Strategic Planning
Every successful project begins with a clear strategy. We assess timelines, budgets, and regulatory requirements to develop a roadmap that minimizes risks and maximizes returns—ensuring your vision is executed with precision.
— for example:
Feasibility Assessment
Early-stage evaluation of site potential, zoning allowances, and cost estimates.
Phased Development Plan
Breaking complex projects into manageable stages for efficiency and cost control.
Risk Mitigation Strategy
Identifying potential challenges early and outlining solutions to avoid costly delays.
