What I handle
Every project type. Every jurisdiction.
From a backyard ADU to a ground-up commercial build, I know the permit process, the people, and what it takes to get approved across Southern California.
One point of contact. End-to-end permit management.
I handle the entire permit lifecycle — application prep, submittal, plan check coordination, corrections, and final permit issuance. You get a single expert who knows your project and advocates for it at every step.
Commercial
Retail, office, restaurant, and mixed-use
Commercial projects involve multiple departments, complex plan check requirements, and tight opening timelines. I coordinate with building, planning, fire, and health departments to keep your project on track from initial submittal through permit issuance.
What's included
- Retail and restaurant build-outs
- Office and professional space
- Mixed-use and multi-tenant buildings
- Change of occupancy permits
- Fire and health department coordination
Residential
Single-family, multi-family, additions, and remodels
Residential permits range from straightforward remodels to complex new construction. I handle single-family homes, multi-family buildings, additions, and everything in between — navigating each jurisdiction's specific requirements and timelines.
What's included
- New single-family construction
- Multi-family residential buildings
- Room additions and second stories
- Kitchen and bathroom remodels
- Structural and foundation work
ADU
Accessory Dwelling Units — detached, attached, and JADUs
ADUs are one of the most active permit categories in Southern California. State law has streamlined the process, but local rules still vary significantly. I stay current on AB 68, SB 9, and local ADU ordinances to move your project through as efficiently as possible.
What's included
- Detached and attached ADUs
- Junior ADUs (JADUs)
- Garage conversions
- State ADU law compliance
- Owner-builder and contractor submittals
Signage
Building signs, monument signs, and digital displays
Sign permits require coordination between planning and building departments, and approval criteria vary widely by city and zoning district. I handle the application, planning approval, and building permit so your sign goes up without delays.
What's included
- Building-mounted and wall signs
- Monument and freestanding signs
- Digital and illuminated displays
- Planning department approvals
- Landlord and CC&R coordination
Tenant Improvement
Interior build-outs for commercial and retail spaces
TI projects move fast — your lease clock is ticking from day one. I keep pace, coordinating with plan checkers, tracking correction status, and pushing for the fastest possible approval so you hit your opening date.
What's included
- Commercial interior build-outs
- Retail and restaurant TIs
- Office suite improvements
- ADA compliance coordination
- Fast-track and expedited review
Ground-Up
New construction from entitlement through permit issuance
Ground-up construction requires careful permit sequencing across multiple phases — grading, foundation, framing, MEP, and final. I manage the full permit lifecycle from day one, coordinating with your design team and the jurisdiction to keep every phase moving.
What's included
- New commercial construction
- New residential construction
- Grading and site permits
- Multi-phase permit sequencing
- Coordination with civil, structural, and MEP teams
How I work with you
Review your plans
I review your project scope and plans to identify all required permits, anticipate plan check issues, and map out the submittal strategy.

I prepare the permit application, compile all required documents, and submit to the appropriate jurisdiction — correctly the first time.
Manage plan check
I track plan check status, respond to corrections, and coordinate directly with plan checkers to resolve issues quickly.
Issue permits
Once approved, I secure your permits and deliver them to you — ready to build.
