Koala Permits

It’s complicated. There are permits.

The work before the permit.

Before a permit can be submitted, there are often measurements to take, existing conditions to understand, zoning and code questions to answer, drawings to prepare, people to coordinate, and decisions that nobody knew needed to be made yet.

That invisible early work is what I call Koala Permits. 🐨

What might be hiding in your Koala Permits?

  • Existing-condition measurements and documentation

  • Zoning and code research

  • Early conversations with permitting authorities

  • Feasibility questions

  • Space planning and preliminary drawings

  • Consultant coordination

  • Scope clarification

  • Identifying missing information

  • Figuring out what needs to happen before a permit application can move forward

Sometimes the hardest part of a project is figuring out where to start. That counts too. 🐨

Have a project that feels complicated?

That’s probably a Koala Permit.
