Questions We Get
Yes. Ground-up permitting in Tampa passes through site and civil review as well as building review. We prepare the site plan, drainage, and setbacks to match the survey and the city's requirements, so the project does not stall between departments on the way to a permit.
Yes. We produce full ground-up packages for multifamily and commercial work in Tampa's growth corridors, with podium structure, parking, units, and tenant space coordinated across disciplines under one point of contact. That coordination is what keeps a large permit from fragmenting across a separate architect, engineer, and civil firm.
