    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions About Permit Expediting

    How long does it take to get a building permit in California?

    Timelines vary by jurisdiction and project scope. Simple over-the-counter permits can be issued same-day. Plan check reviews for residential projects typically take 2-6 weeks, while commercial projects can take 4-12 weeks. Our expediting service reduces these timelines by ensuring complete submittals, responding to corrections within 48 hours, and maintaining direct relationships with plan check staff.

    What is a permit expediter and do I need one?

    A permit expediter is a professional who manages the entire permitting process on your behalf — from plan submittal through final approval. If you're a property owner, contractor, or developer who wants to avoid permit delays, missed corrections, and wasted trips to city hall, a permit expediter saves you time and money. We handle the bureaucracy so you can focus on your project.

    Which California cities do you handle permits in?

    We handle permits across all of Southern California including Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, and the entire Greater LA area. We also serve Orange County, San Diego, the Bay Area, and Sacramento. Each jurisdiction has different requirements, and our team knows the specific processes for each city.

    Can you expedite a permit that's already been submitted?

    Yes. If your permit application is stalled in plan check, we can take over the process. We'll contact the plan checker, identify any outstanding corrections, coordinate responses, and push the review toward approval. Many clients come to us after weeks of delays with their current process.

    Do you provide engineering and drafting services too?

    Yes. Our in-house structural engineers and architectural drafters produce stamped calculations and construction drawings. Having design and permitting under one roof eliminates the back-and-forth between separate firms and speeds up the correction response cycle.

    How much does permit expediting cost?

    Our fees depend on project scope, permit type, and jurisdiction. We offer flat-rate pricing for standard permit types and can provide a quote within 24 hours of reviewing your project details. Contact us for a free consultation and estimate.
