Where Katy-area projects quietly lose two to six weeks
Permitting is where most Katy-area projects quietly lose two to six weeks — incomplete submittals, plan-review comments nobody answered, inspections scheduled too late. We expedite commercial and residential permits through the City of Katy and Harris/Fort Bend County: assembling the submittal package, managing plan-review comments, coordinating MEP sub-permits, and scheduling inspections in the right sequence. This is the same in-house permit work we do on every buildout we run, offered as a standalone service for owners, brokers, and other contractors who just need the city process handled by someone who does it every week.

What does a permit expediter in Katy, TX do?
A permit expediter manages the City of Katy and Harris/Fort Bend County permitting process so plan review and inspections don't stall your project. We assemble the submittal package, respond to plan-review comments, coordinate the mechanical/electrical/plumbing sub-permits, and schedule inspections in the right sequence. It's the same in-house permit work we do on every buildout, offered as a standalone service.
How much does permit expediting cost in the Katy area?
Permit expediting in the Katy area generally runs about $1,500–$12,000 per project, depending on whether it's commercial or residential, the number of sub-permits, and how complex the plan review is. A simple residential permit sits at the low end; a multi-trade commercial buildout with several MEP sub-permits lands higher. We give a flat scope and price up front — these are planning ranges, not a quote.
How long does the City of Katy permit process take?
Most Katy-area commercial permits take a few weeks of plan review once a complete package is submitted, but incomplete submittals and unanswered plan-review comments are where projects quietly lose two to six weeks. Expediting the process means submitting it right the first time and chasing every comment fast, which is the single biggest lever on keeping an opening date.
Can you expedite permits for a project another contractor is building?
Yes. We offer permit expediting as a standalone service for owners, brokers, and other contractors who just need the City of Katy and Harris/Fort Bend process handled by someone who does it every week. You don't have to hire us to build the project — we can run only the permit and inspection coordination and hand you a clean, documented record.
Do you handle MEP sub-permits and inspections too?
Yes. We coordinate the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing sub-permits alongside the main building permit and sequence the inspections so trades aren't waiting on each other and occupancy isn't delayed. Keeping the sub-permits and inspections on one timeline is exactly what prevents the late-stage scramble that pushes a certificate of occupancy.
Which cities and counties do you expedite permits in?
We expedite permits primarily through the City of Katy and Harris and Fort Bend counties, and we work across the west Houston metro — Cinco Ranch, Cypress, Fulshear, Richmond, Sugar Land, Memorial / Energy Corridor, and west Houston. Because we run permits every week, we know each jurisdiction's submittal requirements and review cadence.
