Keeping Multiple Reviews Organized
Fort Lauderdale projects may involve several City divisions and outside approvals depending on the scope. We track the administrative pieces, reviewer comments and outstanding documents so the project team has a clear next step.
County Environmental & Asbestos Review
We identify applicable Broward Development & Environmental Review requirements and manage the County submissions and approval certificates with the city permit. For demolition and renovation, we also manage SRRA paperwork and Certificate of Submittal follow-up.
The asbestos certificate is distinct from a survey or abatement; additional requirements depend on the facility and work. We also work with licensed asbestos consultants and abatement contractors to coordinate their reports and required paperwork with the permit process. See our Broward County guide for the separate environmental and asbestos review steps.
