Our Process

How we get it done.

Step01

Intake & Scope Review

We assess your project scope, timeline, jurisdiction, and permit requirements to develop a clear approval strategy that streamlines the permitting process and keeps construction schedules on track.

Step02

Document Preparation & Quality Control

We prepare, review, and quality-control building permit submittal packages, including construction drawings, architectural plans, and required supporting documentation — ensuring submissions meet jurisdiction requirements to reduce corrections and minimize delays.

Step03

Agency Submission

We submit to all relevant city and county departments and actively track every stage of the review cycle, attending counter meetings and maintaining direct relationships with plan checkers.

Step04

Permit Issuance

We clear all corrections, attend hearings when needed, and deliver your approved permit with a complete record of the approval process for your project files.

Client Testimonials

Trusted by those who build.

"As the director of a childcare facility, I hired Ocean Permits to handle the entitlement process for our new building in Long Beach, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their services. Their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and extremely professional throughout the entire process. They clearly understand local regulations and guided us step by step through complex city requirements, making everything feel manageable and well organized. Ocean Permits demonstrated strong project management skills and a deep understanding of jurisdictional processes. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable and experienced permitting and entitlement consultant."
