Services and Fees
Permitting
Every project comes with its unique set of requirements. We prioritize staying well-informed about the municipal permitting process to facilitate a seamless transition from planning to construction. Time is critical, and our approach enables us to collect essential information and effectively communicate with all parties involved—from LADBS to the client, designer, and trades. This collaborative effort helps ensure that your project meets all necessary standards and passes inspection successfully.
Consulting
You may have questions, and we are equipped with the resources to address them. Let us alleviate your concerns by providing you with current and comprehensive insights into the processes and expectations as you navigate the construction phase leading to the final inspection of your residential or commercial project. Our consulting services are designed to deliver the clarity and guidance you need to stay on course or to effectively address any challenges that may arise.
