EXPRESS PERMITS
was started in 1991 in Los Angeles, California for the sole purpose
of assisting retailers with obtaining building permits anywhere
in the United States. It was believed that there should be a company,
not affiliated with any architectural firm or construction company,
that specialized in the permit process. This company could concentrate
on just helping with permits. Since its inception, EXPRESS PERMITS
has fulfilled its goal to specialize in just permits and has not
gotten involved in drawing plans or building any stores.
EXPRESS PERMITS
started out with one small office, a two line phone system and a
fax machine shared with a tenant in an adjacent office. Today, EXPRESS
PERMITS has expanded to multiple locations throughout the country,
numerous phone lines, several fax lines and E-mail. EXPRESS PERMITS
is committed to doing whatever is necessary to grow and meet the
needs of any retailers trying to build stores in the shortest time
possible.
Early customers
of EXPRESS PERMITS included Bakers Shoes, Musicland, Helzberg Diamonds,
and Baskin-Robbins. These retailers believed that the the architect
or the contractor was not always doing everything possible to accelerate
the permit process. There must have been some truth to that since
EXPRESS PERMITS has grown from helping a handful of retailers in
1991, to working with over 100 clients all over the country.
EXPRESS PERMITS
is without question the leader in making permits go FASTER and SMOOTHER.
EXPRESS PERMITS has established itself as the leader by developing
a staff of knowledgeable permit professionals, opening offices on
both coasts and by bringing a “working together attitude” to each
project. The staff of professionals, the multiple offices and the
working together attitude is what makes the permit process go faster
and smoother.
The history
of EXPRESS PERMITS can be summed up by saying that the retail construction
community has welcomed EXPRESS PERMITS on to the team of professionals
to build stores in a smoother and more orderly manner.
