[04 The Design-Build Advantage]
How Permits Really Work
How Permits Really Work
Most projects fail plan check due to misaligned drawings, missing code requirements, or incomplete documentation.
At EHDM:
All plans are coordinated among architecture, structural, and MEP teams before submission
Revisions are handled in-house to avoid delays
Local code expertise ensures fewer review cycles and faster approvals
With this approach projects spend less time waiting for approvals and more time moving forward.
