What PRM brings

What to bring to the first conversation.

Jurisdiction research + permit strategy

Project address, proposed use, scope, and jurisdiction confirmation. Planning, zoning, building, fire, utility, and site-review requirements.

Applications + coordinated permit documents

Permit applications, owner information, and authorization forms. Coordinated drawings, schedules, details, and technical supporting documents.

Submission, tracking + agency communication

Electronic portal uploads and jurisdiction-required submissions. Application acceptance, review-cycle tracking, and status follow-up.

01

Jurisdiction research + permit strategy

PRM identifies the authorities and approval steps that apply to the property, use, and proposed work. The permitting strategy considers planning and zoning, building review, civil and utility approvals, fire review, landlord requirements, and specialty approvals relevant to the assignment. The team identifies prerequisites and the order in which applications should move.

  • Project address, proposed use, scope, and jurisdiction confirmation
  • Planning, zoning, building, fire, utility, and site-review requirements
  • Application checklists, submission formats, and required supporting documents
  • Phased permits, separate trade permits, and deferred-submittal planning
02

Applications + coordinated permit documents

PRM prepares and assembles the permitting package around the actual review requirements. Architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings are checked for consistent scope and references. Supporting schedules, calculations, forms, authorizations, and project information are organized for the submission, with required professional documents provided by the responsible disciplines.

  • Permit applications, owner information, and authorization forms
  • Coordinated drawings, schedules, details, and technical supporting documents
  • Submission checklists and drawing-quality review
  • Fee identification and payment coordination with the responsible party
03

Submission, tracking + agency communication

PRM submits applications and documents within the agreed permitting scope, tracks acceptance and review status, and maintains communication with the reviewing agencies. The team records application numbers, review assignments, outstanding requirements, and target milestones so the owner and construction team can see what is needed next.

  • Electronic portal uploads and jurisdiction-required submissions
  • Application acceptance, review-cycle tracking, and status follow-up
  • Agency inquiries, clarification requests, and coordination meetings
  • Permit logs connecting submissions, fees, comments, and upcoming decisions
04

Plan-review responses + resubmittals

PRM manages review comments across the project team. Each comment is assigned, answered, and connected to the affected documents. Revised sheets, narratives, calculations, and supporting information are checked together before resubmission. Changes are communicated to estimating, procurement, and construction so the teams work from the same requirements.

  • Discipline-specific comment matrices and response narratives
  • Revised drawings, supporting documents, and coordinated resubmissions
  • Resolution of cross-discipline and agency-interface questions
  • Controlled revision histories and distribution of approved documents
05

Permit issuance + construction-phase approvals

PRM follows the application through the remaining issuance requirements and organizes the approved documents for construction. Permitting continues when the scope changes, a deferred item is submitted, or an agency requires additional information. Inspection and occupancy requirements are tracked with the construction team through completion.

  • Permit issuance requirements and approved-plan distribution
  • Permit amendments, revisions, extensions, and deferred submittals as needed
  • Inspection scheduling interfaces and correction-response tracking
  • Final approval and certificate-of-occupancy requirements where applicable

Working relationship

What to bring to the first conversation.

PRM tailors the deliverables, participating disciplines, and level of support to the assignment. Share what is available; the team will identify missing inputs, confirm responsibilities, and define the next useful milestone.

  • Project address, intended use, and jurisdiction
  • Current drawings, prior approvals, and review comments
  • Required submission dates and participating consultants

Common questions

Define the next step.

Does PRM handle permitting or only prepare drawings?

PRM handles permitting as a service. This can include identifying requirements, preparing applications and documents, submitting packages, following review status, responding to comments, securing issued permit documents, and managing construction-phase revisions. The proposal identifies the agencies and applications included.

Can PRM take over an application already under review?

PRM can review the existing application, drawings, agency comments, authorizations, and current status, then define the scope needed to move it forward.

Can PRM guarantee an approval date?

The reviewing authority controls its review and approval. PRM manages the submissions, follow-up, and responses within its scope and keeps the owner informed about outstanding requirements and schedule impacts.
