Faster Permits Without Cutting Corners
What if the design review was already finished before anyone applied? That's what a pre-approved building program does, and it's how communities are issuing permits faster than ever.
Easy Permits for Everyone
Pre-approved plans eliminate redundant design review, not safety checks. Your building department processes more permits without more staff. Communities using this approach are issuing permits in days or hours, not months.

A pre-approved program only works if the plans get built. Every portfolio is shaped by input from your community, your builders, and your building officials, so the plans fit local conditions and actually get used.
