Who
We Serve
We act as the specialized permitting arm for professionals across the real estate and construction sectors — bringing the expertise, agency relationships, and process discipline that each client type needs.
Different clients have different permitting problems. An architect's problem is time lost on permit administration. A GC's problem is a crew waiting on a permit card. A retailer's problem is a signed lease ticking on a building they can't open. A homeowner's problem is a process they've never navigated before. We've worked with all of them, and we calibrate our engagement to what actually matters for each.
Architects
You design; we handle the permits. We take your completed drawings from first submittal through final approval — managing plan check corrections, coordinating resubmittals, and communicating directly with jurisdiction plan checkers so you don't lose billable time on permit administration.
Architects lose significant design and project coordination time navigating LADBS submissions, waiting on correction letters, and responding to plan checker questions that could be resolved faster with a dedicated point of contact at the agency. We function as the permit track for your studio — you stay focused on design, and we handle the back-and-forth. For multi-project firms, we provide a single permitting partner across your portfolio, so you're not managing different expeditors city by city.
General Contractors
Win the full project scope without adding permitting overhead. We pull building permits so your crews aren't waiting on the city, and we back you up on the administrative side so you can offer design-permit-build or full-scope construction management without staffing a permit department.
For GCs, the permit is the critical path item that determines when your crews can start. A permit delayed two weeks means a crew mobilization shifted, a subcontractor schedule disrupted, and a client's move-in date missed. We compress the permit timeline by submitting complete packages and responding to corrections within 24–48 hours — rather than the week-plus turnaround common when permit management is handled internally alongside everything else on your plate.
Homeowners
Remodeling, adding an ADU, or rebuilding after a fire? The permit process can be overwhelming without experience navigating it. We handle the city for you — from determining exactly what permits your project needs, to walking your application through plan check, to coordinating final inspection.
Most homeowners encounter the permit process once or twice in their lives. Plan checkers, correction notices, agency clearances, and inspection sequences are unfamiliar territory — and mistakes are expensive. We explain what's required in plain language, manage the agency relationships on your behalf, and flag issues before they become delays. For homeowners in Pacific Palisades and Altadena rebuilding after the 2025 wildfires, we provide focused support navigating the emergency rebuild pathways.
Commercial Tenants & Landlords
Opening or building out a commercial space? You cannot operate without the permits — and the permits determine your opening date. We manage tenant improvement, change-of-use, and building permits across LA and our other service markets so your business can open on schedule.
Commercial tenants who underestimate the TI permit process face opened-but-unoccupied spaces sitting on paying leases. The most common errors are scoping mistakes — assuming a simple interior remodel doesn't trigger change-of-use review, or not accounting for LAFD clearance, or missing that a partition wall moves a path of egress. Our pre-submittal scope review identifies every required agency and every permit requirement before your GC picks up a sledgehammer.
Retail & Restaurant Brands
Storefront build-outs come with a stack of permits — building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, health, and signage. And when you're opening multiple locations in the same quarter, the coordination complexity multiplies. We manage all permits across one location or a multi-city rollout, with centralized tracking and a single contact across every market.
National retail and restaurant operators need a permitting partner who understands the urgency of their opening calendar. A location delayed two weeks is revenue lost on a signed lease. We manage multi-location rollout programs across California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida with standardized documentation adapted to local jurisdictional requirements, centralized status reporting, and proactive correction management that prevents queue re-entry delays. Our restaurant permit experience covers the full multi-agency stack: LADBS building, LAFD fire suppression, Health Department, and Public Works grease interceptors.
See Rollout ServicesReal Estate Developers
From land-use entitlements to building permits, development projects carry more agencies, more review tracks, and more timeline risk than almost any other project type. We manage the full permitting layer so your development timeline and pro forma stay on track.
Development projects are sensitive to timeline at every stage — entitlement delays affect financing, building permit delays push construction start, and inspection delays affect certificate of occupancy and tenant delivery. We engage at the entitlement stage — helping structure CUP and variance applications, coordinating environmental review, and managing Planning Commission hearing schedules — and continue through building permit issuance and construction inspection coordination. For developers with multiple active projects across different jurisdictions, we provide a single permitting partner who tracks all projects with consistent reporting.
