Permit & Project Coordination

Residential Permit Feasibility Reviews

A residential permit feasibility review identifies likely civil, site, wastewater, access, drainage, and coordination requirements before an owner commits to a full plan package.

Service overview

What this service involves

Early review is valuable when a project involves a vacant parcel, rural utilities, septic, an ADU, a barndominium, a steep site, an existing correction letter, or several consultants. Calicore reviews the proposed use, parcel information, known agency material, building location, access, grading, drainage, wastewater, and the likely civil responsibility list.

The result is a practical roadmap: what information exists, what must be collected, which tests or reports may be needed, which items belong to other professionals, and what decisions should be resolved before detailed design. It is not a guarantee of permit approval or a substitute for final agency review.

Step by step

How the process works

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

  1. 01

    Review the project and jurisdiction

    We confirm the parcel, proposed work, current permit status, and the departments or agencies that may review the project.

  2. 02

    Build the requirement list

    Applications, plans, reports, signatures, fees, owner decisions, and outside-professional assignments are organized into a working checklist.

  3. 03

    Coordinate the submittal

    We prepare the civil portion, check coordination among documents, and help assemble the material required for the agreed submittal.

  4. 04

    Manage corrections

    Comments are logged by discipline, assigned to the responsible party, answered, and incorporated into a coordinated resubmittal.

Review criteria

What the city or county generally expects

A complete submittal should identify the project clearly, use the current application path, and provide consistent information across every plan and supporting document.

Permit requirements change by jurisdiction and project. Calicore confirms the current checklist and assigns regulated work to the appropriate project professional.

Frequently asked

Residential Permit Feasibility Reviews questions

Can a feasibility review be done before I buy a property?+

Yes. A preliminary review can identify obvious civil, access, septic, drainage, and permitting risks before a purchase or design commitment, subject to the information available.

Will the review tell me exactly what the county will approve?+

No. The agency controls approval and may require additional information. The review is intended to reduce avoidable surprises and define the likely path to a complete submittal.

Can the feasibility review lead directly into design?+

Yes. When the project proceeds, the review can become the basis for a defined civil design, field-testing, permit, and consultant-coordination scope.
