Getting a building permit can seem complicated, but the process is much easier when you know what to expect. At River’s End Construction, we handle the permitting process and keep you informed from application to approval.
1. Application & Intake
We submit the required application, plans, drawings, and supporting documents to the appropriate local jurisdiction. The initial review confirms that everything needed has been provided.
2. Planning & Zoning Review
Planning officials review the project for compliance with local zoning, land-use requirements, setbacks, and other applicable regulations.
3. Public Works Review
Depending on the project, Public Works may review its impact on roads, utilities, drainage, and other infrastructure.
4. Building & Code Review
Building officials review the plans to ensure they meet applicable building and safety codes, including structural, fire, electrical, plumbing, and other requirements.
5. Permit Approval
Once all required reviews are complete and any necessary corrections have been addressed, the permit is issued and construction can begin.
We Handle the Details
Permit timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of a project, as well as the jurisdiction and current workload. Throughout the process, River’s End works with the appropriate officials, responds to requests, and keeps the project moving forward.
Most importantly, we don’t expect you to navigate the permitting process alone. We’ll help manage the paperwork and requirements so you can focus on the project ahead.
