Permit expediters
Express Permits
Express Permits Company handles permit management and expediting for commercial building and construction companies. Its permit technicians research what each commercial project requires and then follow the guidelines and process that each building department's plan reviewer expects, jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
The company works on single projects and on regional and nationwide rollouts, where the differing process in every jurisdiction is the main problem it sells against, and it puts together permitting packages to suit the client. Named permit types include tenant improvement, MEP, RTU, ATM, and EV charging station permits, alongside government services and a document retrieval service it calls Express Recorder.
Industries listed are retail, restaurant, corporate, hospitality, industrial, healthcare, residential, and others. Mail goes to a PO Box in Lagrange, Ohio, and the site publishes contact pages for most US states; sales, operations, and general inquiries all run through 855-323-2300. The company states that it is professionally insured and treats project communications as confidential, and it runs an affiliate programme for permit service partners across the country.
One limit is stated plainly on the contact page: Express Permits works with commercial building companies and does not assist individuals with residential building permit submissions. Quotes are customised per project, so ask what the scope covers and which jurisdictions are included before comparing prices.
