Permitting is a key step in the commercial construction process, and having a construction partner with years of experience in Bay Area permitting can make all of the difference when it comes to realistic timelines and staying on budget.
As many cities turn to outside plan checkers, we've continued to evolve our processes and relationships to create an effective permitting strategy that combines our design-build partnerships with city-specific relationships.
Bay Area Permitting Timeline Estimates
Our project team has extensive permitting experience and this allowed us to release a Bay Area commercial permitting timeline map outlining specifics by city earlier this year. As we look to close out 2025, our team has again reached out to the cities and pulled together an updated permitting timeline map to help you accurately estimate project timelines.
