Pre-Flight Permit Review

Most correction letters are predictable. The Pre-Flight Review finds the issues staff are likely to raise before you submit, so the first review is the one that counts.

Who it's for

  • Architects and designers preparing a submittal
  • Builders who need a realistic start date
  • Owners who want to know the package is complete before the clock starts

What we handle

  • Completeness against the department's submittal requirements
  • Zoning, setback, height and coverage checks
  • Items typically flagged by planning, building, fire and environmental health
  • Required reports, studies and clearances
  • A recommended submittal sequence

How it works

Three steps, each one documented.

  1. Send the package

    Share the plans and any reports. We confirm scope, fee and turnaround.

  2. Review

    We audit the package against the requirements and the issues staff commonly raise.

  3. Report

    You receive a written list of issues, each with a recommended fix and owner, and a submittal sequence.

What you receive

A written pre-flight report: every likely issue, the recommended fix, and a submittal sequence. Fixed fee.

Questions

Pre-Flight Permit Review, answered.

What does the Pre-Flight Review cost?

It is a fixed fee, quoted up front based on the project type. Contact us with the project details and we will confirm the fee and turnaround.

Does a pre-flight review guarantee my permit won't get corrections?

No. It significantly reduces avoidable corrections by catching the issues that are predictable. Staff may still raise project-specific questions, and we can manage those too.
