TUMI Receives Permits in Just 13 Days in Columbus, Ohio

Permit Place recently completed a crucial permit expediting project for TUMI, a high-quality business and travel products retailer. TUMI was renovating a retail space located in a Columbus, Ohio mall. 

Thanks to our team’s planning and strategic permitting strategy, TUMI’s expected 4-week permit approval was cut down to just 13 days. 

Challenges

While the project presented an array of standard challenges, none were significantly out of the ordinary, allowing our team to focus on efficiency.

Solutions and Strategies

Our proactive strategy involved adhering to our rigorous due diligence process, which was critical in identifying key contacts, understanding specific project requirements, and navigating the municipal submittal process efficiently. 

This upfront investment in due diligence established a robust foundation for the project’s swift progression.

Project Wins

One of the most significant wins was the reduction of the estimated permit turnaround time from the expected 4 weeks per review to just 13 days. 

This achievement was made possible by opting for after-hour reviews, a tactic disclosed during our initial due diligence phase. This decision enabled faster reviews without sacrificing the thoroughness required for such a prominent project.

The TUMI renovation project in Columbus stands out as a testament to the effectiveness of Permit Place’s comprehensive approach to permit expediting. Through thorough due diligence, strategic decision-making, and relentless focus on client objectives, we ensured the project not only met but surpassed client expectations, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in the permit expediting industry.
