Bring the next step into focus.

Consulting support can include

• Assessing the likely approval path for a proposed project before a full submission.
• Reviewing available property, permit, and application records.
• Identifying zoning, historic review, public space, or occupancy questions that need resolution.
• Evaluating a stalled application and separating missing documents from design decisions or agency action.
• Developing a recovery plan for expired permits, stop work orders, notices, or other outstanding issues.
• Coordinating discussions with the project team and appropriate agency staff.
• Organizing a project handoff so a new owner, contractor, or design team can understand the record.

Our recommendations are based on the information available and the work we are engaged to review. When a question requires design, engineering, surveying, or legal analysis, we help identify the appropriate professional input.

When a project has stalled

We review the latest application record, current comments, submitted documents and agency notices. From there, we identify unresolved items, the people responsible for each response, and the next action needed to move the project forward.
