One of the greatest risks in the development and management of your built environment is obtaining permits and regulatory approvals. Site selection, planning, and engineering won’t get the project done if the permits don’t come through. The need to gain permits from multiple agencies requires proper phasing of permitting efforts. The right sequence of design and permitting activities controls costs by developing only the necessary amount of design prior to issuance of final permits.

- Environmental impact assessment and mitigation
- Coastal areas and resources
