PERMITTING
Sometimes the most daunting prospect for building owners and contractors is having to go through the permitting process. However, this is an unavoidable and necessary part of every building project. ZEN ARCHITECTURE understands that, if you cannot obtain permits to build, it doesn't matter how great the architecture is! Therefore, our staff and consultants do not shy away from the permitting process. In fact, we consider permitting to be a critical element in the value we bring to our clients
Some permit applications require the design professional to make presentations before commissions and boards in a public forum. We make sure that we present your project in a professional, coherent, and well-spoken manner.
We have experience in making applications, presentations, or providing consultation for permits such as the following:
