Expert Assistance in the following areas:

Zoning

Planning

Building Codes

We advise and consult on both residential and commercial issues.

(Cities and counties often send violation letters to property owners, with a list of corrections. If these are not addressed, the consequences can be very expensive. Cities and counties have a legal right to correct your violation(s) and charge you for them!)

Zoning, planning and building codes are becoming ever more complicated. If you have questions and unresolved problems, we suggest you start with a visit to your local city or county building department. You’ll soon know if you can handle what’s needed. If you find it too complicated, we provide only as much help as you need. Sometimes that’s just a phone call to clarify procedures. We explain all this so you understand the process.

These could include any of the following areas:


  • Building code requirements and standards,
  • Permit issues, questions, requirements and costs,
  • Zoning and planning requirements as they apply to your property(s),
  • Building and zoning violations
  • Fire damage and code upgrades.
  • Seismic retrofits and ADA upgrades for commercial properties and businesses.
  • Do you need help with a building permit issue? Are you buying or selling a home and you suspect there may have been unpermitted construction?
