Think earlier

A practical checklist should help the team spot permitting questions before they become schedule issues.

Before submittal, project teams often need to confirm the jurisdiction, project scope, required drawings, agency reviews, contractor registration, inspection sequence, and likely response path for comments. If one item is unclear, ask PermitUsNow below.
