Standard DOB permit approval takes 6 to 8 weeks for straightforward applications. With our expediting services, we typically reduce this timeline to 3 to 4 weeks. Complex projects requiring zoning variances or special permits may take longer, but our relationships with DOB staff help accelerate every stage of the process.
A DOB expeditor represents property owners and developers at the Department of Buildings.

Our expertise eliminates common delays caused by incomplete applications, code violations, and procedural misunderstandings.
Expediting fees vary based on project complexity and scope. Simple permit applications start at $1,500, while complex new building projects range from $5,000 to $15,000.
