Approvals
We help New York City projects move faster by efficiently navigating approvals and permits through city agencies.
Every construction project in New York City requires approved plans and permits from the Department of Buildings before work can begin. The approval process involves plan examination, code review, and often coordination with multiple city agencies. For complex projects, this process can take months without expert management.
Outsource Consultants manages the complete job approval process, from initial application preparation through final permit issuance. We review all documents for code compliance before filing, attend plan examination appointments on behalf of your design team, and respond to examiner objections with the technical precision required for rapid resolution. Our familiarity with DOB examiners, review procedures, and filing systems gives our clients a distinct advantage in securing approvals.
Whether your project involves new construction, alterations (Alt-1, Alt-2, or Alt-3), or demolition filings, we have the expertise to navigate the specific approval pathway efficiently. We also manage Professional Certification and Limited Supervision filings, providing maximum flexibility in choosing the fastest route to approval.

Our team reviews all drawings and documents before submission to identify potential objections, ensuring your application is complete and code-compliant on the first filing.
Multi-Agency Navigation
From DOB to FDNY, DOT, DEP, and Landmarks Preservation Commission, we coordinate approvals across every agency your project requires.
Objection Response
When plan examiners raise objections, our expediters work with your design team to prepare compliant responses and resubmit within the same review cycle.
