We Work With Commercial Clients

📐

Architects & Design Firms

You design it. We pull it. We handle the permit submissions so your team stays focused on design and client delivery — not municipal back-and-forth.

Commercial Developers

Mixed-use, retail, office, multi-family. We coordinate permit submissions across all trades and follow up with the municipality on your behalf through the full permit cycle.

Services

Commercial Permit Packages

A restaurant renovation with multiple trades can have 6–10 separate permit applications. A retail buildout in a new municipality needs local knowledge to get it right the first time. We manage the complexity so you don't have to.

Typical Commercial Job
Restaurant gut renovation in Jersey City:
F120 (electrical) + F140 (fire/suppression) + F100 (construction jacket) + Plumbing subcode + Mechanical subcode + Hood suppression

= $1,500–$2,500 project-based pricing. One point of contact. One package. Full follow-up until all permits are issued.
▶
Multi-Subcode Packages
F120 + F140 + F100 + mechanical + plumbing submitted as one coordinated package. We sequence the applications to match municipal requirements.
▶
Variance & Appeal Applications
Zoning variances, use variances, and hardship applications when your project needs more than a standard permit.
▶
Plan Review Coordination
We track plan review status, respond to reviewer comments, and resubmit corrected documents — keeping your project on schedule.
▶
Multi-Municipality Projects
For developers working across multiple properties in different municipalities, we manage each jurisdiction separately with consistent tracking.
▶
Inspection Scheduling
We coordinate with municipal inspectors to schedule inspections at the right phase of construction — reducing back-and-forth for your superintendent.
▶
Certificate of Occupancy (CO) Tracking
We track CO and TCO applications through the final approval so your client can open on time.

What Commercial Clients Actually Need

Reliable, Not Just Fast

You can't have a permit expeditor who goes dark mid-project. We provide status updates proactively and respond to messages same-day.

Local Knowledge That Matters

Hudson County, Bergen County, Essex, Union — we know each municipality's idiosyncrasies: how they review plans, what they flag, how long things take.

One Point of Contact

You don't want to manage 4 different trade permit services. We handle every subcode for your project — one invoice, one contact, one timeline.

Project-Based Pricing

Commercial jobs aren't $175 flat. We scope each project and price accordingly — with no surprises mid-project regardless of how many revisions or deficiencies arise.
