Miami is building. Are you ready?

That's how many building permits the City of Miami issued or approved in a single fiscal year. Every one of them goes through the same review queue yours will. A complete, correct submittal is how you get through it faster.

Services

The smart way to handle paperwork.

Residential and commercial, new construction to a single storefront. If a city or county department has to sign off on it, we can carry it through.

Construction permits

Building, roofing, windows and doors, trade permits and revisions, filed complete and tracked through every review discipline.

New construction

Master permits for single-family homes and multifamily work, coordinated with your architect, engineer and contractor.

HVHZ & product approvals

Florida Building Code compliance in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, with the right NOAs and product approvals attached the first time.

After-the-fact legalizations

Work done without a permit? We document what's there and walk it through approval so the property is legal.

Business tax receipts

City and county BTRs for new locations, ownership changes and renewals.

Certificate of Use

The CU your business needs to operate legally at its address, matched to zoning before you sign the lease.

Certificate of Occupancy

Final inspections, sign-offs and the CO or CC that closes your project out.

Film permits

Location permits for productions and shoots, coordinated with the municipality.

How it works

From intake to final sign-off.

Incomplete applications, correction notices and missed inspections are what cause costly delays. We handle each stage and keep you posted.
