The approval side. Whether the town will let you build it, and then getting them to say so.

Every project has a moment where the question stops being “what do we want to build” and becomes “what will they let us build.”

That question has a technical half and a political half. The technical half is in the ordinance, and anybody can read it. The political half is in the record of what that board has actually done, and it is the half that decides most contested projects.

We work both halves, in three stages.

Before you buy

Pre-acquisition due diligence. What a parcel can actually become, the realistic approval path, the timeline, and the risk that the answer is no, while you can still walk away or reprice.

Getting the approval

Entitlement processing. Rezonings, text and map amendments, site plan approval, variances, special use permits, subdivision and plats, and the hearings and appeals that come with them.

Keeping it moving

Entitlement project management. Carrying the application through the jurisdiction, submittals, staff comments, revisions, community meetings, hearing prep, and the conditions that get negotiated at the end.

How it’s priced

Scoped per project, after a call. What an approval costs depends on which one you need, how contested it is, and how many review cycles the jurisdiction runs, and quoting that off a rate card before we’ve read the town would be a guess with a number on it.

If you want a fixed-price starting point, a QuickCheck is $1,000 and answers the first question in two days.
