Permits & violations
Permits, construction, violations.
The value of existence...
Construction value.
Construction projects should be value investments, especially with how expensive construction is. But without proper permits and entitlements, a construction investment can can become a liability.
Asset or liability.
In the eyes of the California Building Code, unpermitted construction isn’t considered “existing.” This essentially detracts value from the asset and replaces it with potential violation-related liabilities. Permits and entitlements are essential for retaining value.
Navigating code.
Code requirements and regulatory processes can be complex, time-consuming and expensive—all factors that can affect an otherwise cost-effective project. That’s where we come in. At Groundswell Management, we specialize in clarifying the convoluted, circumventing unnecessary delays and reducing cost through efficient management of the process.
We can help.
Knowledge.
Our expertise in obtaining permits and resolving code enforcement violations comes from decades of experience in construction services and in permitting, both from the side of the jurisdiction and the side of the customer.
Prioritizing efficiency and cost-saving, we start by assessing the property and project scope in detail. Next, we identify the most direct route to the goal and define each task needed to get there, along with any potential challenges to anticipate and possible solutions to meet those challenges head-on. We might draw from past successes or realize a new approach that would work best.
We value mutual understanding, trust and open communication with our clients from start to finish. As such, we prefer to discuss our assessment and plan for action before finalizing our proposal for services.
Action.
By the time we get started, we will already be ahead of the game. We provide full service permit processing and violation resolution including coordination of all involved parties, permit tracking and document management through to approved final inspection/Certificate of Occupancy.
We offer in-house design and CAD drafting and additional services as needed to fully adapt our scope for the project needs. Our mission is to achieve our client’s goals on their timeline. With dedication and skill, we make it happen.
Performance.
We work diligently to secure the prolonged value of your investment by ensuring that your permit gets issued, documents are filed properly from application to final approval, official records are correct and complete for future reference and your overall project goals and expectations are realized, if not exceeded.
