Garage Secures Fast Plan Check Approval in Novi Mall TI

CLIENT: Garage for Aedifica
LOCATION: Novi, Michigan
PROJECT TYPE: Mall Tenant Improvement

Permit Place recently completed permit expediting services for Aedifica’s Garage location, a mall tenant improvement (TI) project in Novi, Michigan. The engagement focused on PPREV of plumbing plans for a retail space within a mall environment, ensuring all plumbing-related scopes met local code requirements and were aligned with the broader tenant improvement schedule.

Working closely with the City of Novi Community Development Department, Permit Place managed the submittal and coordination required to obtain timely plan check approval. As part of the Garage program, this project needed to move quickly to support Aedifica’s broader rollout timeline while minimizing risk of construction delays.

Challenges

This Garage project proceeded without significant hurdles or unexpected issues. Because there were no unusual site conditions or major code conflicts, the process moved smoothly. The absence of major challenges was largely due to Permit Place’s upfront preparation, careful review of the plumbing plans, and alignment with mall TI requirements in Novi, Michigan before submission.

Solutions and Strategies

Even with a straightforward scope, Permit Place relied on its established Due Diligence process, verifying City of Novi Community Development Department submittal standards, plumbing requirements, and review timelines in advance. Proactive measures included:

  • Clear communication with both the client and the building department
  • Strategic application planning to ensure the PPREV package was complete and compliant at first submittal

Project Wins

The Garage plumbing PPREV achieved plan check approval in just 28 days from receipt of plans. This rapid turnaround supported Aedifica’s construction schedule and broader Garage program objectives. By streamlining coordination with the City of Novi Community Development Department and avoiding resubmittal cycles, Permit Place demonstrated how disciplined due diligence and focused permit expediting services can keep mall TI projects on track and ready for build-out.
