Building / Construction Permits

PH&C manages permit submittals through issuance. We identify municipality requirements, assemble all the documents and payments, get them submitted, track plan review through permit issuance so the contractor can start on schedule.

The building permit is the municipality’s review of the architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and accessibility drawings. There are also other permits required such as signage. Land development approval does not address these. PH&C identifies and manages all the required permits, and gets them in process so the contractor can mobilize when planned and the project can get underway.

What PH&C handles

Learning the review process and submission requirements of the jurisdiction.
Assembling the application, signed and sealed drawings, energy forms, and special inspection documents.
Confirming that zoning and land development approvals are attached or referenced as required.
Tracking plan review by discipline and logging each comment.
Reviewing the design team’s responses before they are submitted.
Managing deferred submittals such as fire protection and engineered components.
Coordinating trade permits, inspections, and the certificate of occupancy.

What you get

A permit date on the project schedule, with realistic review time included.
Comments answered once and completely, which avoids repeated review cycles.
Early notice when review is running long, while you can still adjust mobilization.
A permit file organized for inspectors, lenders, and closeout.

How it connects

Land-use approvals are covered under land development and zoning approvals. Inspections during construction are covered under government agency coordination. If your drawings are nearly ready for submission, contact PH&C.
