There are several situations in which you may want to consider hiring a permit expediter to help you navigate the building permit process. Here are some examples:

​

• Large or complex projects: If you are planning a large or complex construction project, such as a multi-story building or a renovation of an historic structure, you may want to consider hiring a permit expediter. These types of projects often involve numerous permits and approvals, and can benefit from the expertise and experience of a permit expediter.

​

• Tight timelines: If you need to obtain permits and approvals quickly in order to meet a tight construction schedule, a permit expediter can help ensure that the process runs smoothly and efficiently. Permit expediters can help you navigate the process quickly, and can also help you identify potential issues before they become problems.

​

• Lack of experience or expertise: If you are new to the permitting process, or if you are unfamiliar with the local building codes and regulations, a permit expediter can be a valuable resource. They can provide guidance and support throughout the process, and can help you avoid potential pitfalls and delays.

​

• Limited resources: If you do not have the time or resources to devote to managing the permitting process yourself, a permit expediter can help. They can handle all aspects of the process on your behalf, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your construction project.

The cost of a permit expediter can vary depending on several factors, such as the size and complexity of the project, the location of the project, and the specific services required. Some permit expediters charge a flat fee for their services, while others charge an hourly rate.

​

In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars for the services of a permit expediter. For example, a simple residential project may cost a few hundred dollars, while a large commercial project in a major city could cost several thousand dollars.

​

It's important to note that while the cost of a permit expediter may seem like an added expense, it can actually save you time and money in the long run by helping to ensure that the permitting process runs smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, the cost of a permit expediter may be outweighed by the potential costs of project delays or mistakes made during the permitting process.

Plan checking is the process of reviewing architectural and engineering plans and specifications by qualified professionals, usually building officials or other designated plan checkers. The goal of plan checking is to ensure that the plans and specifications are in compliance with all relevant building codes, safety standards, and regulations.

​

Plan checking typically involves a detailed review of the construction plans, including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing elements. The plan checker will assess the design for code compliance, safety, and efficiency, and will make recommendations for corrections or modifications if necessary.

​

During the plan checking process, the plan checker will communicate with the designer or architect to clarify any discrepancies or issues that arise. Once the plan checking process is complete, the plan checker will provide a formal report, including comments and recommendations for any necessary changes.

​

Plan checking is an essential step in the building process, as it helps to ensure that construction plans are safe, efficient, and comply with all relevant regulations. Plan checkers must have a deep understanding of building codes and safety standards, as well as experience in reading and interpreting architectural and engineering plans.

Construction consultation refers to the process of providing expert advice and guidance to clients who are involved in construction projects. Construction consultants are professionals who have extensive experience and expertise in the design, engineering, and construction of buildings and other infrastructure.

 

They provide a wide range of services to clients, including project management, cost estimating, value engineering, scheduling, construction management, and dispute resolution.

They may also provide support during the post-construction phase, helping to address any issues that arise after the project is completed.

Construction consultation is an essential part of the construction industry, as it helps clients to navigate the complex and often challenging process of building and maintaining structures.
