Packages & Pricing
A professional permit-recovery and compliance-management service — not a loose collection of permit expenses. You’re investing in technical coordination, document preparation, contractor alignment, municipal navigation, correction management, and real risk reduction.
From red tag to permit closeout.
Our objective is to help property owners move from an unresolved permit, correction notice, code-compliance issue, or stop-work order into a structured pathway toward approval, inspection, construction resumption, and permit closeout.
Every engagement is scoped to your property. Final pricing depends on the condition of the property, documentation already available, the municipality, project scope, the number of required revisions, and the involvement of licensed third-party professionals.
Included in the professional fee
- Technical coordination & document preparation
- Contractor, drafter & surveyor alignment
- Municipal navigation & correction management
- Stop-work order resolution coordination
- Inspection scheduling & permit closeout
- Risk reduction and a single point of accountability
Four ways to get moving.

Package I may be credited toward a higher tier if you move forward within 15 days.

What every agreement protects.
i
No approval guarantee. We do not guarantee municipal approval, SWO release, or a specific approval date.
i
Fees reconciled to actual. Government fees are estimated allowances, reconciled against actual charges.
i
Design changes billed separately. Client-requested design changes aren’t municipal corrections and are billed separately.
i
Labor excluded. Construction labor and corrective work are excluded unless specifically listed.
i
Separate professional charges. Survey, engineering, architectural, inspection, and licensed-contractor charges are separate unless expressly included.
i
Capped cycles. Pricing includes only the stated number of correction and revision cycles.
i
Concealed conditions. Previously unreported construction may require additional services.
i
Acceleration ≠ guarantee. Priority handling speeds our administration, not the city’s review timeline.
Financial disclaimer: All figures are preliminary planning estimates, subject to verification after review of the property, municipal records, existing plans, any stop-work order, code-enforcement notices, and completed construction. Municipal, professional-consultant, and third-party expenses may change based on project valuation, jurisdictional requirements, property conditions, and the number of required review cycles. No representation is made that payment of these fees guarantees permit approval, release of a stop-work order, approval of previously completed work, or acceptance of any specific construction condition.
