Building Permit Help for Homeowners and Builders
Where permits stall
Most permits stall for boring reasons. A site plan is missing a dimension. An energy form doesn't match the window schedule. A correction letter sits for two weeks because nobody knows how to answer it. That's the part we do. We put the application together, upload it to the portal, watch for comments, and write the responses.What's something exciting your business offers? Say it here.
Where we pull permits
Sumner, Puyallup, Bonney Lake, Tacoma, Auburn, Kent, unincorporated Pierce County, and King County jurisdictions including Seattle.
Got a correction letter already?
Send it over. We'll read the comments, tell you which ones need a drawing change and which need a written answer, and give you a quote to handle them. If a comment asks for engineering, Dow Engineering PLLC can pick that up. To get started, send the property address or parcel number, what you want to build in a sentence or two, photos of the site or existing house, and any plans, survey, or city letters you have. Call (253) 799-0606 or email office@buildsherpas.com
