Permit & Project Coordination

Permit Management Services

Permit management identifies the required approvals, organizes the application and technical documents, tracks agency questions, and coordinates revisions for California residential and small-development projects.

Service overview

What this service involves

Calicore reviews the proposed project and agency information, builds a permit responsibility matrix, identifies missing technical items, coordinates the civil scope, and tracks comments through resubmittal.

Permit management does not mean one engineer stamps every discipline. It means the owner has a technical lead who knows which work belongs to civil engineering, which requires another professional, and how the pieces must coordinate.

Step by step

How the process works

The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.

  1. 01

    Confirm the parcel and permit status

    We identify the jurisdiction, proposed work, approvals already obtained, documents already submitted, and departments that may review the project.

  2. 02

    Build the permit responsibility matrix

    Applications, plans, reports, calculations, signatures, fees, owner actions, and outside-professional assignments are listed in one working document.

  3. 03

    Coordinate the technical package

    Calicore prepares the agreed civil items, checks for conflicts among documents, and helps assemble the submittal.

  4. 04

    Track and answer comments

    Each plan-check comment is logged, assigned, answered by the responsible party, and incorporated into the resubmittal.

  5. 05

    Record approvals and remaining conditions

    The owner receives a clear list of approved documents and any conditions that carry into construction or final inspection.

Review criteria

What the city or county generally expects from a permit package

A complete package uses the correct application path and presents the same project consistently across every plan, report, form, and response letter.

Requirements vary by city, county, special district, parcel, and project type. Calicore confirms the current requirements with the reviewing agency before finalizing the scope.
