Do you handle coordination with the planning and building department? Yes. We regularly communicate with city and county departments throughout the design process. Whether it’s zoning questions, permit submittals, or responding to plan check comments, we help guide your project through the approval process from start to finish.
How long does it usually take to receive permits? It depends on the city and the scope of your project. Most residential permits take 2 to 5 weeks after submission. Some cities are faster — others may take longer. We’ll help keep things moving by submitting complete, code-compliant plans.
Do I need permits for my project? In most cases, yes. If you’re adding square footage, converting a garage, changing the structure, or moving walls — permits are usually required. Some minor cosmetic work (like flooring or painting) doesn’t need them. We’re happy to review your project and let you know exactly what’s needed for your city or county. Feel free to give us a call and we'll guide you on your project.
