I manage the permitting process from start to finish, ensuring all documentation is accurate, compliant, and submitted on time. By coordinating requirements across agencies and anticipating potential issues early, I help prevent delays and keep your project on schedule. My focus is on clarity, organization, and consistent follow-through, ensuring permits move efficiently so your build can begin with confidence.

01. Pre-Submittal & Due Diligence

Identifying the roadmap before the clock starts.

• Permit Feasibility & Code Review: Analyzing local zoning, setbacks, and land-use restrictions to identify potential hurdles before they become delays.

• Agency Requirements: Determining exactly which departments, i.e., Planning, Building, Engineering, or Fire; will need to weigh in on your specific scope.

• Pre-Flight Planning: Reviewing drawings to ensure they meet the specific "language" of the local municipality to reduce the likelihood of immediate rejections.

02. Submission & Agency Coordination

Managing the bureaucracy so you don’t have to.

• Submittal Package Preparation: Compiling all technical documents, forms, and digital files into a complete, professional package for streamlined intake.

• Inter-Agency Coordination: Acting as the single point of contact for the City of Los Angeles, Ventura County, and surrounding municipalities.

• Corrections Management: Rapidly addressing "plan check" comments and coordinating with the design team to ensure re-submittals are accurate and timely.

03. Expediting & Approvals

Leveraging local expertise to move the project forward.

• Direct Expediting: Utilizing established professional relationships and local knowledge to navigate the unique workflows of Southern California building departments.

• Clearances & Sign-offs: Methodically checking off the "prior-to-issuance" requirements to reach the finish line.

• Timeline Advocacy: Consistently following up with reviewers to ensure your project doesn't sit at the bottom of a desk, keeping your start date on track.
