Calculate savings

The permit process costs more than you think

Most homeowners budget $2,000–$3,000 for permit drawings. The real cost of a permit-ready package? $12,000–$18,500 when hiring professionals separately.

Delays cost $2,000–$5,000

Contractor idle time while you wait for separate professionals to coordinate adds up fast.

12% goes to rework

Poor coordination between separate professionals means conflicting drawings and expensive revision cycles.

No one is accountable

When drawings conflict, no single professional takes responsibility. You pay revision fees on both sides.

Case Study

917 Richard Street, Kentville

6-unit residential development requiring permits from two jurisdictions — delivered in 2 months by one integrated team.

The challenge

A developer needed a 6-unit apartment building permitted in Kentville — but this site required approvals from two separate jurisdictions: Kings County for land-use and the Town of Kentville for building permits. The traditional route, juggling separate architects and engineers across both authorities, would mean 6–8 months of back-and-forth.
