This process can be slowed by discrepancies in the initial plan but our permitting department is required to have all drawings to the homeowner within 10 business days from purchase. Once we have approval from the sales person, project manager, & the homeowner we submit the permit to the Engineer. The Engineer has 10 days to get us calculations and our permitting department then has 5 business days to make the corrections/changes and submit to your jurisdiction. Most cities average 60 days to release permits but depending on the complexity of the lot, time of year and specific jurisdiction we have seen permitting take as long as 6 months. Once the permit is released we will reach out within 10 business days to set up a pre-construction meeting to discuss scheduling. As building services are generally less busy during the winter, the earlier in the year you can begin getting your permit the better. We get 99.5% of permits but sometimes patience is the key to this success.
