Why Are Permits So Hard To Get?
Permitting is a process that falls right in the middle of the Design and Construction process. And where it falls is directly into the hands of the the governing authority responsible for overseeing public safety. Permitting is a necessary yet complicated part of the process that architects and contractors have limited control over. Knowing how cities work can greatly reduce the time it takes to get a permit. Let us help you and your design team select the permitting process that’s right for you.
- Standard Permitting with PERMIT
- Targeted Permitting with PERMIT +

PERMIT +
Targeted Permitting uses knowledge of how a city completes the review process, and is a proactive method for staying ahead of the curve.
PERMIT GENIUS
Self-Certification is a limited but growing concept where architects act as the permit reviewer, making permits available in just days.
