Building Permit Expediting Services

Burnham's Building Permit Expediting Services simplify the permit acquisition process, saving you time and money. Our local experts take the lead on your project, providing peace of mind. We facilitate interaction between all project stakeholders, including owners, developers, municipalities, and design and construction teams. Our expediters review all submittal packages for completeness and accuracy, monitor the plan review process, and provide regular updates. This proactive and systematic approach ensures that your project's permitting process is handled efficiently from conception to completion.

You should consider using a Building Permit Expediting Service if you have an important deadline, are unfamiliar with the municipality where you are building, or have a complex project. It is also beneficial if you are working with a new contractor or team. For multi-site rollouts for national brands, our services are critical for coordination and ensuring consistency across all locations.

While we cannot guarantee a specific timeframe for permit issuance, as it ultimately depends on the municipality, our services are designed to significantly expedite the process. Our deep understanding of local building codes, permit types, and submission processes allows us to advise on the most efficient and economical order to execute requirements. Our long-standing relationships with municipal departments and our proactive approach help to avoid unnecessary delays and keep your project moving smoothly.

Burnham operates with a 'simply get it done' mindset, and our services are typically a flat rate, allowing you to budget precisely. This is in contrast to other managed service providers that often charge hourly, which can lead to unpredictable costs. Our flat-rate pricing includes the support of our in-house team of design and building code professionals, access to our extensive database of municipal requirements, and the peace of mind that comes with our comprehensive project management.

Yes, we can. However, if we take on a project mid-submission, there is a strong possibility that we may need to restart the process with the city. This may be worthwhile if the project's scope or complexity has grown, if zoning or building code concerns have arisen, or if the project team is having difficulty fulfilling required documents.

We handle a wide variety of projects, both commercial and residential. Our expertise covers new construction, commercial construction, and existing construction alterations. We work on projects of all sizes, from single-family homes to large-scale mixed-use developments, and have experience with a diverse range of project types, including hospitality, restaurants, historic properties, and more. There is no project too big or too small for our team.

Our Building Permit Expediting Services are comprehensive and cover the entire lifecycle of your project's permitting needs. This includes, but is not limited to, new construction permitting, commercial construction permitting, existing construction permitting, nationwide expansion support, licensing, public way services, and land use/zoning assistance. We also offer the services of our in-house building code consultants to provide additional support and expertise.

We offer our Building Permit Expediting Services in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. We have satellite offices in major cities across the United States, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, Denver, and Dallas, allowing us to provide local expertise on a national scale.

In addition to Building Permit Expediting, we offer a range of other services to support your project. Our in-house Building Code Group can ensure your project is structurally sound and compliant with accessibility requirements. We can also assist with zoning research, operating licenses, special inspections, and environmental/health grinding permits.
