Joey Restaurants San Jose permits, California

Permit Place was recently tasked with a challenging San Jose permits project in San Jose, CA. Our client, Joey Restaurants, required assistance for their 16,000-square-foot renovation and expansion project, which includes a variety of permits—Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Fire, Health, and Planning.

Challenge

The vast size and scope of the Joey Restaurants’ location required a San Jose permits but exceeded what the City of San Jose allows for express plan check reviews. Failing to get the project through the express plan check meant the approval process could take more than a year to complete.

Additionally, we had the responsibility of getting the client team ready for a pivotal meeting with the economic development department as part of getting approvals.

Project Win

Through a series of strategic maneuvers, we successfully negotiated Joey Restaurants’ San Jose permits project through the expedited program. This was a significant victory, as the restaurant can now leverage this program for the entire duration of its project, including post-permit revisions.

Notably, we secured first-round approvals for the electrical & fire permits, along with building approval for the initial demolition submittal round.

The utilization of our special arrangement with the City of San Jose meant we were able to drastically reduce the projected approval timeline from a year to a significantly shorter period. 

Moreover, this project played a crucial role in strengthening our ties with the City of San Jose, highlighting the firm’s ability to forge strategic partnerships while delivering exceptional client results.
