Getting the permit is only halfway. Our construction permit support keeps the paperwork in step with the build: revisions, inspections, field changes, and final sign-off, so nothing stops the crew and nothing surprises you at closeout.
No house gets built exactly as drawn. A beam gets upsized, a window moves, the owner decides to finish the basement after all. Each change can affect the permit. Handle it right and nobody notices. Ignore it and it shows up at inspection, usually at the worst possible moment.
Contractors are busy building. Designers have moved on to the next project. That leaves a gap between the job site and the permit file, and that gap is where stop-work orders, failed inspections, and expired permits come from. We fill it.
Pick the pieces you need, or hand us the whole thing. Either way, there’s one person who knows the status of your permit at any moment.
We read the comments, sort them by who has to act, and keep the answers consistent with what's being built.
Complete, organized responses that close comments the first time instead of opening new ones.
When the design changes mid-build, we prepare and file the revision so the approved set matches the house.
Scheduling, prep lists, and special inspection reports, so the inspector finds what they expect to find.
We check whether a change needs a revision, an engineer's letter, or just a note for the inspector.
Contractor, engineer, designer, and city, all working from the same information and the same set of plans.
Final inspections, outstanding items, and the paperwork that officially closes the permit.
Stop-work order, failed inspection, or an expired permit? Contact us. The sooner we start, the more options you have.
Most permit problems feel bigger than they are. The fix usually starts with understanding exactly what the city is asking for and in what order. Panic, and the wrong document gets sent. Wait too long, and a small issue becomes an expired permit.
Seattle publishes its permit process and inspection rules online, but applying them to a half-built house is a different skill. That’s the day-to-day of our work.
First step: send us the notice or the inspection result. We’ll tell you within a day what it means and what we’d do.
We find out exactly why it was issued, what will lift it, and get the right documents in front of the right person.
We read the inspector's notes, sort field fixes from paperwork fixes, and line up the re-inspection.
Depending on the timing, a permit can often be renewed or reactivated. We check the options before they run out.
We sort out the permit status, what's been inspected, and what a new contractor needs to pick up cleanly.
We document what's there and prepare a revision, so the approved set finally matches the house.
We go through the permit conditions with your contractor and build a list of every required inspection and report.
Inspections booked on time, field changes reviewed, revisions filed when needed. You get a short weekly status.
Before calling for final, we confirm every report is in and every open item is resolved.
Final inspection passed, permit closed, and a clean record you’ll be glad to have when you refinance or sell.
It’s everything that happens on the permit side once construction starts: revisions, inspections, reports, field changes, and the final closeout. Construction permit support keeps the official record in sync with the real house, so inspections pass and the permit closes cleanly.
Maybe not. Plenty of good contractors run permits well. We’re most useful when the contractor is stretched thin, when the project has engineers and special inspections, or when you want someone on your side who isn’t also managing the crew. Many contractors hire us directly for exactly that reason.
Yes. We often step into projects mid-stream. We’ll need the permit number and permission to act for the owner. From there, we review the full history, figure out what’s open, and make a plan to get it to final.
No. Small adjustments can often be handled with the inspector on site. Changes to structure, layout, height, or anything the reviewer specifically approved usually need a formal revision. We help you tell the difference before the work is done, not after.
Depending on how long it’s been and how far the work got, the permit may be renewed, reactivated, or replaced with a new application. The earlier you act, the more options you keep. If you think a permit is close to expiring, contact us now rather than later.
An open permit can come up when you sell, refinance, or apply for your next project. Buyers’ agents and lenders notice. Closing it while the crew and records are still fresh is far easier than reconstructing it years later.
Either a fixed fee for a defined task, like a single revision or a permit rescue, or a monthly fee for full support through construction. We’ll recommend the one that fits after a short call. If you’re also starting a new application, see our residential building permits service.
Whether you’re about to break ground or already dealing with a problem, tell us where things stand. We’ll explain your options and how fast we can step in.
