— Kathy M. Williams, AZ
“James and the Permit Pushers, finding you has made my job so much easier to help my customers. With everything going electronic for permitting it put a lot of my customers in a panic. I am so relieved that I can refer you to them to help with the acquisition of their permits and know that they will be taken care of in a respectable way and for a reasonable cost to my customer.”
— Pat F., Bunger Steel, AZ
“Working with Permit Pushers was great! They are highly communicative and extremely efficient! They processed our paperwork the same day we gave him the required information. We were overwhelmed with the application requirements but they asked a few questions and handled the rest! It was so much easier than trying to navigate the process ourselves.”
— Robert & Robin T., Mayer, AZ
How the Permitting Process Works
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and project type, but the coordination process generally follows the same path.
Tell Us About Your Project
Share the project location, scope, plans and any permitting information you already have.
We Confirm Requirements
We identify the applicable jurisdiction, permit path, application requirements and supporting documentation.
We Prepare & Submit
Permit Pushers organizes the application package and coordinates submission with the appropriate permitting authority.
We Manage the Review
We track the application, follow up with the jurisdiction and organize comments, requests or additional requirements.
We Coordinate Through Issuance
If revisions or resubmittals are required, we coordinate the administrative process with your project team and continue tracking the permit through approval.
Your project team remains responsible for technical decisions and licensed revisions, while the jurisdiction determines review requirements, timelines and final approval. We keep the process between those parties organized and moving.
