What we do

Simply put, Faster Permits manages every aspect of the building permit process for commercial, industrial, and residential projects in every municipality in the United States. Since 1991, Faster Permits has moved the permitting industry well beyond “permit expediting.” With more than 100 years combined experience, the team at Faster Permits serves as “Project Manager” in the permitting realm. Our efforts typically begin early in the process with property research/due diligence and what we call “Permit Roadmapping”. With this roadmap, we coordinate directly with all required design professionals to compile the required submittal documents. For example, a project’s design will often begin with the architect’s efforts, then will continue with the structural engineer, civil engineer, geotechnical engineer, landscape architect and others. We work with all parties to ensure the drawings are coordinated into a complete and properly configured permit submittal package – one that’s ready for prime-time and customized to meet the specific requirements of the municipality. Once the permit set is ready, we complete all required application materials, make all required submittals at the municipality – ensuring plans have been routed to the correct parties for review. As each reviewing authority replies with comments/corrections, we work with the design team to interpret the codes and requirements and respond in the most complete manner possible. Once all reviews are approved, we prepare hard copies of the approved plans and the issued permit for the jobsite, and deliver.

We are often asked, “what makes you faster?” The answer: Beyond our years of experience and strong relationships with the plan reviewers, the fastest path to an issued building permit is to reduce the number of review cycles at the municipality to the greatest degree possible. Our approach to “front loading the quality” with completeness reviews prior to each submittal and resubmittal is the secret sauce.
