| CLIENT: | Lennox NAS-Tacoma |
| LOCATION: | Olympia, Washington |
| PROJECT TYPE: | Stand Alone TBD |
Permit Place recently completed permit expediting services for Lennox NAS-Tacoma in Olympia, Washington. The project involved securing a mechanical permit for the installation of a mini-split system at a stand-alone location. Although the construction type was listed as TBD, the scope required coordination with the Community Planning and Development Department to obtain approval.
This was a standalone project and was not part of a larger national or regional rollout program. Even so, the project demonstrated Permit Place’s ability to efficiently manage permitting requirements for clients with time-sensitive mechanical installations and deliver a successful outcome through focused planning and communication.
Challenges
The primary challenge involved client concerns regarding several items the Community Planning and Development Department required for submission. This pushback prolonged the initial submittal process and required the Permit Place team to clarify expectations, confirm documentation needs, and keep the project moving toward approval without unnecessary delays.
Solutions and Strategies
Permit Place applied proactive measures throughout the review process, using its Due Diligence process to identify the AHJ’s submission requirements and confirm the necessary information for the mechanical permit. The team maintained proactive communication with the client and coordinated strategically with the AHJ to address outstanding items. This approach helped ensure the revised submission was complete and positioned for an efficient plan check approval.
Project Wins
Despite the initial delay, the submittal and approval process ultimately moved quickly and smoothly. Permit Place secured approval in just one day from receipt of plans, providing Tacoma with an efficient permitting outcome in Olympia. The result highlights the value of experienced permit expediting services, thorough preparation, and clear coordination in completing stand-alone projects on schedule.
