Our permit services are based upon an in-person tracking service, and a need based response time, generally within 24 hours.

The general scopes of our services include, but are not limited to, the following:

In person tracking of all permits
3 to 5 day turn around for most over the counter permit requests
24/7 Online Permit status
Electronic copy of permit available within 1 business day on-line
Rush and delivery service available

Tracking and expediting, for all of the above permits
Follow up / follow through with all reviewers in person and on the phone
Pick up and delivery of all plans, revisions, re-submittals and permits
Project team co-ordination as it relates to the jurisdiction reviews and requirements

Northwest Permit can operate as a Permit Project Manager.
In this scenario; NWP would co-ordinate and expedite not only the City Staff and reviewers, but the Project Team as well. This level of service allows us to track, expedite and facilitate the entire process, and allows for our status reports to be accurate for our Team as well as all the reviewers.
Northwest Permit can operate as the Permit Co-coordinator.
This is where I felt our target service needed to occur for your accounts. In this capacity NWP co-ordinates the City Staff only. We submit for the applications, pick up and deliver corrections and revisions and co-ordinate with the reviewing staff at the City. The reason this works so well under normal circumstances, is that we can, on one hand have an accurate and up to the day picture for ourselves as well as our clients, as to the exact status of their project, and its specific location within the reviewing body. On the other side of this scenario, we can offer the City Staff a single point person. This is valuable bargaining chip with the City because it cuts down on their time in repeating information to several Team Members, as well as allows for one person who has a clear picture of all of the moving parts associated with an application.
The Third level of service is that of "Pinch Hitter".
Under this organization NWP would simply follow the direction of either the owner or another Team Member as it relates to what needs to be completed. We would perform services as requested or required. However the overall permit co-ordination would be completed by other Team Member, or Project Manager.

Northwest Permits tracking system uses a redundant database for both our clients permit submittals and our status updates and records. On submission of a permit request, an email is immediately sent to our permit coordinator for that region, and our permit technicians are usually able to apply for the permit within 24 hours.

This eliminates issues with permit requests being lost or misplaced. Additionally, all permit pages can be custom designed for individual clients any way that you would like. This system has been continually upgraded and is now faster than ever. This system has proved dependable since May 24th, 2005 and has kept track of over 13,919 permits since it went online.
