Common questions about our DOB expediting services

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.

We prepare and file permit applications, attend plan examination meetings, resolve violations, represent clients at ECB hearings, and navigate all DOB processes. 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.
