The Permitting Process
Construction in Oklahoma is governed by the International Building Code (IBC) 2018 with local amendments. Navigating this can be complex. We handle:
1. Pre-Application Meetings: We meet with city officials early to identify zoning or utility issues.
2. Plan Review Management: We respond to city comments on architectural, MEP, and structural drawings.
3. Inspections: We schedule and manage all required inspections (foundation, framing, MEP, final).
4. Certificate of Occupancy (CO): The final goal. We ensure all paperwork is in order to get you open.
Local Permit Timelines (Estimates)

| Tulsa | Commercial New Build | 6-8 Weeks |

*Timelines vary based on project complexity and city workload.
