Residential

Faster Permits manages the permitting process for residential projects of all sizes and scopes - both single-family and multi-family. Whether you're adding a deck, remodeling your kitchen, creating a living space in your basement, demolishing a structure and building a new home, or you're a local, regional, or national developer building large-scale subdivisions or apartments, our experienced project managers are well-prepared and uniquely resourced to provide great value to your project.

NEW SINGLE FAMILY

Custom homes and residential infill development have been a mainstay of our client base since 1991. Flat lots, steeply sloping lots, environmental zones, septic concerns, infrastructure improvements... whatever challenges your project is facing, we will help you navigate them. With our team involved early in the process, we can help you understand exactly what will be required, help you assemble your team, discern the permitting roadmap, and get your building permits issued in the quickest, most efficient manner possible. Working with our experienced Project Managers, you will feel supported and confident in the process.

RESIDENTIAL REMODELS, DECKS, ADDITIONS, ADU'S, TINY HOMES

No project is too small! Some of the most challenging projects we manage are residential remodels, decks, and additions. Everyone expects them to be easy, but overwhelming codes and policies have changed the narrative - there's no such thing as a simple building permit. With our team involved early in the process, we can help you understand exactly what will be required, help you assemble your team, discern the permitting roadmap, and get your building permits issued in the quickest, most efficient manner possible. Working with our experienced Project Managers, you will feel supported and confident in the process.

VOLUME BUILDERS

Faster Permits is uniquely positioned and resourced to manage large-scale residential subdivision projects in any municipality. Clients such as Lennar, D.R. Horton, Everett Custom Homes, Renaissance Homes, and Pahlisch Homes have gained the most value from engaging with our team early, where we perform property research/due diligence reviews of the parcel to discern municipal requirements/restrictions, highest and best use, and project viability. At this stage, we're also discerning the permitting roadmap and outlining project phasing requirements and restrictions. From there we coordinate directly with your design professionals to ensure the plans are prepared according to the specific municipalities' requirements. Finally, we manage each and every building permit from submittal to issuance.

Our pricing structure makes our engagement with volume builders more affordable than in-house staff, but of far greater value is our extraordinarily refined approach to Building Permit Management - we simply get permits faster.

Industrial

Faster Permits manages industrial projects ranging from small scale to the absolute largest scales. Our team integrates directly with the stakeholders and design professionals very early in the project to discern the permitting roadmap for any given municipality, which is a vital starting point and drives critical design decisions. Our clients also rely heavily on our experienced Project Managers early in a project for the careful coordination of project phasing from a permitting perspective. We coordinate and facilitate necessary meetings between the stakeholders, design professionals, and city/county/state/federal entities both pre-submittal and throughout the permit review process - and of course we manage every element of the building permit process from submittal to issuance. From steel factories to gas/oil/hydrogen facilities to shipping ports and terminals to international airports, our experienced team is prepared and uniquely resourced to provide immediate and significant value to your project.

Featured Projects

PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The largest and most complex permitting project in Oregon's history, "PDX Next" is a $2+ billion, 5-year series of transformative projects which will bring more Pacific Northwest-inspired architecture, local restaurants and shops, inclusive design, and carbon footprint-reducing technology. PDX Next comprises five key construction projects, which include a $950m main terminal expansion, a $215m Concourse E expansion, $282m parking additions and rental car facility, a $100m Concourse B redevelopment, and a $67m quick turnaround facility.

From the project's early stages, Faster Permits has been instrumental in project and permit phasing - working with the stakeholders and design professionals to coordinate more than 500 separate permit submittal packages, each specifically and carefully created to work in succession with one another from a design, permitting, construction and inspection perspective.

GROUNDBREAKING PROJECTS

The pioneering "Framework" project was the first wood/mass timber high-rise design in the history of the United States to receive governmental approval for construction via the building permit process. The project sought to be a catalyst that connected sustainable urban development to rural economic growth regionally and nationally. Framework was supported by a 1.5 million dollar award from the US Tall Wood Building Prize Competition to offset the costs of testing and peer review necessary to pursue a performance-based project beyond what is permitted in current building codes.

Faster Permits played a critical role in this groundbreaking project - obtaining approvals for an unprecedented design that building codes were not prepared to address.
