What does a permit expediter actually take off the project manager?

A permit expediter should remove the administrative path: find the current jurisdiction requirements, assemble the ready package, file it, track review, route comments and keep the project team informed. The architect, engineer or licensed trade still owns the technical work that requires their qualification.

Separate the administrative path from the technical package

Most permit friction contains both. The administrative path is forms, portals, fees, status and correction routing. The technical package is drawings, calculations, code decisions and professional certifications. A clear service boundary keeps each with the right owner.

Start with the actual jurisdiction

A national checklist is not enough. The permit begins with the current authority having jurisdiction, project type and required submission path. That is the first research step before promising a timeline or document list.

Keep review comments attached to an owner

When a reviewer returns comments, the expediter should identify whether the response is administrative or technical, route it to the right person and track the resubmission. The PM should not have to rediscover that state from email threads.

A simple pilot

Good Remedy starts at $395 plus agency fees for a straightforward permit with a ready technical package. Complex plan review and multi-trade work are quoted before filing.

Hand off the work, not the judgment.

If the job is defined enough to operate, Good Remedy can often take the recurring queue or bounded backlog off your team.
