The Process

Your Permit in Five Easy Steps

Step One

Call us for a quote! We'll then schedule the initial site visit and discuss the expected turnaround times.

Step Two

The intial house visit will take place, where we measure the entire dwelling.

Step Three

Preliminary existing layouts of your house will follow, to which you would confirm the exact proposed scope of work with us.

Step Four

We update our drawings with your proposed changes, engineer the new proposed structure, and then send you back a final set for your review & approval for the permit application.

Step Five

We apply for the permit application on your behalf (optional), and address any change marks or notices issued by the municipality.

After The Permit is Granted?

Our work is not yet complete!

During Demolition

We understand homes are full of surprises. Therefore, we offer a discounted site visit to come out and document any existing significant site conditions.

You can always contact us before construction to make sure you’re on the right track, so your project runs smoothly.

During Construction

You or the contractor might come accross unforeseen roadblocks and propose alternative solutions. We work responsively to tackle those roadblocks.

We always anticipate a potential for design changes and revisions throughout the project.

After Construction

The municipal building inspector may call for the review of a professional engineer for purposes of a sign-off.

We offer services to inspect completed framing and provide full sign-offs, either for the municipalities requirement to close your permit, or for your own peace of mind.
