Commercial Real Estate Owners/Developers/Businesses
There are numerous services that Permit Source offers to the smaller sized local real estate owners property developers, and businesses. It may not be practical or financially feasible to have full-time staffing to manage construction projects, plan review, tenant co-ordination or the permitting process. We offer any or all of these services tailored to meet your needs. If you have a new project in the planning or design stage we can research the permit costs involved in the project. If you are a small business owner we can help with acquiring your Business Tax Receipt or Certificate of Use. We can work with your architect and/or engineer in creating the construction documents and permit application submission packages. We can qualify bids. Co-ordinate your tenant's construction with your base building construction. You can pick and choose those services that meet your specific needs.
We can also offer the same services to the national developers and national retail or restaurant chains.
Property Owners
Permit Source offers consulting services for the small do-it-yourself property owner that is trying to get a building permit for a fence, or other minor jobs that don't require a licensed contractor, but do require a building permit. We can advise you on the types of building permits needed for your project, and assist with compiling the proper documents for the application package. Applying for a permit as the Owner/Builder may require you to prove that you a qualified to perform the work. A test may also be required by the building department, and typically the Owner is required to be actively involved the process and legally liable. We can advise you, but we do not offer permit application services in this situation. The Owner/Builder permit is for the "do it yourself" craftsman, and we believe you should do it yourself. We only offer open and expired permit processing services to home owners and that is done on a case by case basis.
