Permit Expediting & City Compliance
$1,500–$12,000 per project
Permitting is where most Katy-area projects lose two to six weeks. Submittals come back incomplete, plan-review comments sit unanswered, and inspections get scheduled too late. We expedite commercial and residential permits through the City of Katy and Harris or Fort Bend County. We put the submittal package together, answer plan-review comments, coordinate the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) sub-permits, and schedule inspections in the right order. It's the same permit work we do on every buildout, offered on its own for owners, brokers, and other contractors.
What We Do
- Commercial and residential permit packages assembled and filed
- City of Katy and Harris or Fort Bend County plan review
- Coordination of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing sub-permits
- Inspections scheduled in order, so occupancy is not delayed
- A standalone service for owners, brokers, and other contractors
- A clean, documented permit record for your file and lender
Why hire one contractor for the whole project?
We handle mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work in-house. We also handle City of Katy and Harris/Fort Bend County permits ourselves. That means one contractor instead of three. Every job gets a named project manager and a clean, documented permit record. No hidden change orders. No chasing separate subs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does permit expediting cost in Katy, TX?
Permit expediting in the Katy area typically costs about $1,500 to $12,000, depending on the size and complexity of the project. This fee is separate from the city's own permit and plan-review fees. A single residential permit is at the low end, and a large commercial project with multiple mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) sub-permits is at the high end. We quote the service up front.
How long does the City of Katy commercial permit process take?
A commercial permit through the City of Katy commonly takes a few weeks to a couple of months once a complete package is submitted. Incomplete submittals or unanswered plan-review comments are where projects lose two to six weeks. We assemble a complete submittal package and stay on top of plan-review comments, so the clock keeps moving.
What does a permit expediter do?
A permit expediter assembles and files your submittal package, answers plan-review comments, coordinates the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) sub-permits, and schedules inspections in the right order so occupancy isn't delayed. It's the same permit work we do on every buildout, offered as a standalone service for owners, brokers, and other contractors.
Can you expedite permits for projects you aren't building?
Yes. Permit expediting is available as a standalone service for owners, brokers, and other contractors who need the City of Katy or Harris or Fort Bend County process handled by someone who does it every week. You get a clean, documented permit record for your file and your lender, without having to learn the city's process yourself.
Do you coordinate the MEP sub-permits too?
Yes. We coordinate the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) sub-permits alongside the main building permit, so nothing gets filed out of order. Getting the sub-permits and inspections sequenced correctly is what keeps a project from failing an inspection and losing its planned occupancy date.
