Keep in mind that durations can change quickly and the process involves initial submittal preparation, first review duration, multiple rounds of review, additional outside departments required, fee payments, and city or client delays.
It’s important to have a team that doesn't miss steps and information to avoid unnecessary delays.
This is critical to meet project schedules.
