Construction permits

For people building their own home and for developers with projects lined up: I prepare the file, submit it to the authority and follow it until the permit is in your hands.

Requirements vary by municipality and by case. Before we start, I confirm the exact list with you.

Before we start

Deed and property tax up to date: Almost every construction procedure starts with the property deed and a current property tax (predial) receipt. If something is missing, I tell you how to sort it out first.
Plans and sign-off: Permits usually require plans signed by a licensed construction director (DRO). If you already have an architect, I coordinate with them; if not, I point you in the right direction.
Clear costs from the start: I keep my fees separate from the government fees, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

I also handle vehicle paperwork
