Navigating city plan check, zoning review, and permit approval is one of the most time-consuming parts of any project. ATP manages the entire process — so your project moves forward without delays, corrections, or surprises.
Most homeowners have never gone through the permit process before. Submitting plans is only the first step — city review involves multiple departments, zoning compliance checks, plan check corrections, and ongoing coordination with Building & Safety that can delay a project by weeks or months if not actively managed.
Expediting is the process of managing your project through city review — tracking submissions, responding to corrections, coordinating between departments, and keeping your approval moving. ATP handles this entirely on your behalf.
Hear from homeowners and developers who trusted ATP for their residential and multifamily projects.
If you're starting a new build, addition, or ADU, permits are required before construction begins. ATP manages the full submission and approval process — from initial plan check through final permit issuance — so you're not left coordinating with the city on your own.
Permit delays cost money. ATP actively tracks and manages your project through city review, responds to plan check corrections, and coordinates across departments to keep your timeline and budget on track.
If you have completed plans and need a reliable partner to manage city submission, plan check coordination, and correction responses, ATP works alongside your team to move the project through approval efficiently — handling the process from submission to permit issuance.
Permitting involves more coordination than most people expect. ATP manages every step from initial submission through final approval — nothing falls through the cracks.
ATP prepares and submits your architectural and structural plans to the appropriate city department or county agency, ensuring all required documentation is complete before submission.
Before submission, ATP reviews your plans against local zoning ordinances, setback requirements, and building code standards to identify and resolve potential issues before they become corrections.
When the city issues corrections — and they almost always do — ATP reviews each item, coordinates with your design team on required revisions, and resubmits promptly to keep your approval on schedule.
ATP communicates directly with Planning, Building & Safety, and any additional departments involved in your project's review — so you are never in the middle of that process.
Once approved, ATP confirms your project is Ready to Issue, coordinates permit pickup or digital issuance, and ensures all documentation is in order before construction begins.
For projects requiring faster turnaround, ATP actively tracks your submission status, escalates where appropriate, and manages the process to minimize delays at every stage of city review.
Every project moves through city review differently depending on jurisdiction, scope, and plan check volume. Here's how ATP manages the process from start to finish.
ATP reviews your project scope, property conditions, and zoning requirements to identify any potential compliance issues before plans are submitted. This step prevents corrections that could have been caught early.
Before submission, ATP reviews all architectural, structural, and supporting documentation to confirm everything required by the city is complete and properly formatted for plan check.
ATP submits your plans to the appropriate city department or county agency — Planning, Building & Safety, or both — and confirms receipt and tracking information.
ATP tracks your submission through city review, monitors status, follows up with departments directly, and flags any issues as they arise — keeping you informed without putting you in the middle of the process.
When the city issues plan check corrections, ATP reviews each item, coordinates with your architect or engineer on required revisions, and manages resubmittal promptly.
Once approved, ATP confirms your project is Ready to Issue, coordinates final permit pickup or digital issuance, and ensures all documentation is in order before your project moves into pre-construction.

Most construction projects in Los Angeles County — including new builds, ADUs, additions, major remodels, and structural work — require permits before work begins. The specific permits required depend on your project scope, property location, and jurisdiction. ATP reviews your project during consultation and identifies exactly what is required.
Plan check is the city's review of your submitted architectural and structural plans for code compliance. A permit is issued after plan check is approved and confirms your project is authorized to begin construction. Plan check comes first — the permit follows approval.
Timelines vary significantly depending on the city, project complexity, and current plan check volume. Some jurisdictions offer over-the-counter approvals for smaller projects while larger builds can take several months through full plan check review. ATP will provide realistic expectations based on your specific project and jurisdiction during consultation.
Plan check corrections are common and expected on most projects. When corrections are issued, ATP reviews each item, coordinates with your architect or engineer on required revisions, and manages resubmittal — keeping your approval on track without putting you in the middle of the process.
