PROVEN APPROACH
As one of the most complex locations for development projects, California presents unique challenges that require careful and innovative approaches. First, we work closely with clients to develop solutions and strategies to avoid impacts to natural and cultural resources for their projects. When permits are necessary, we coordinate with agencies early on and stay in close contact throughout the process, managing the permit application every step of the way to acquire permits in a timely manner to help clients keep their projects on track. We have developed excellent relationships with the key regulatory agencies and have efficiently and effectively processed thousands of permits for projects of varying types and sizes.
