Navigating the Building Permit Process

The building permit process can seem complex, but with a clear roadmap, it becomes much more manageable. At ASM, we’ve outlined the key steps from initial planning to final approval, detailing the responsibilities of both the architect and the client. This breakdown will provide you with the clarity and confidence needed to navigate the process smoothly.

To make it even easier to follow, the steps are color-coded to distinguish between residential and commercial procedures. While commercial projects go through all five steps (blue and purple), residential projects only require the first three (blue) to obtain a building permit.​

This guide will walk you through the process, ensuring an efficient and seamless experience as you move forward with your project.
