| Client: | King Fish House for King’s Seafood |
| Location: | San Jose, CA |
| Project Type: | Mall Tenant Improvement |
Permit Place provided permit expediting services for King Fish House, a King’s Seafood concept located in a San Jose, CA mall. The project involved an electrical post-permit revision as part of a broader tenant improvement (TI), requiring precise coordination to avoid disruption to construction sequencing.
Working directly with the City of San José Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement, Permit Place managed the submittal and plan check coordination needed to clear the electrical revision efficiently and in alignment with mall requirements.
This effort was part of King’s Seafood’s broader URW program, where consistency, speed, and predictability across locations are critical.
Challenges
Post-permit electrical revisions in mall environments can introduce risk if documentation is incomplete or misaligned with previously approved plans. Any disconnect between revised electrical scope, mall standards, or City expectations can trigger additional review cycles and delay construction activities.
For this project, maintaining alignment across all parties was essential to avoid reopening prior approvals or slowing progress.
Solutions and Strategies
Permit Place relied on its Due Diligence process and proactive coordination to prepare a clean, review-ready submission. Key actions included:
- Confirming City expectations for post-permit electrical revisions
- Aligning revised drawings with previously approved plans and mall standards
- Strategically packaging the submittal to minimize reviewer questions
- Maintaining direct, responsive communication with the AHJ
This disciplined approach allowed the review to move forward without friction.
Project Wins
- Secured plan check approval in 1 day
- Avoided resubmittals or clarification delays for a post-permit electrical revision
- Supported uninterrupted construction sequencing within a busy mall environment
- Reinforced a repeatable permitting approach for King’s Seafood’s URW program locations
This project demonstrates how thorough preparation and experienced permit expediting can deliver same-day approvals (even for post-permit revisions) when documentation and coordination are handled correctly.
