J.L. Hare Associates has a professional
and experienced staff
to effectively work as a member
of your up-front planning
team. We negotiate key project
issues with jurisdictional planning
staff and officials through
final project approval and construction.
Many developers
place the entire permit process
in the hands of J.L. Hare
Associates to ensure that projects
proceed on schedule and
within budget. The J.L. Hare
Associates team has the experience
and ability to foresee
what permits will be required
and obtain them as needed. In
this role of manager,
we keep the lines of communication
open between project
team members. As a key
member of each project team,
J.L. Hare Associates has
proven itself a valuable asset
to developers. Here are some
of the ways in which J.L. Hare
Associates can keep your next
project moving ahead:
|
Design Phase
By participating in project
planning meetings with design
teams, we provide critical
information about agency
requirements, approvals
required and processing time
so future problems and delays
are avoided.
Knowing the scope of the
project allows us to investigate
fee and bond requirements
and establish a critical path
schedule for project approvals,
and construction start and
occupancy dates.
Presubmittal Phase
We orchestrate meetings with
the agencies and jurisdiction
personnel, and present the
project to allow the jurisdiction
staff, design team,
contractor and developer to
discuss the project prior to
submittal. This creates trust
and eliminates unexpected
problems.
Submittal Phase
To get the cooperation from
the jurisdiction staff, submittal
documentation is meticulously
prepared. We obtain fees,
plans, exhibits and forms for
all application submittals,
thoroughly preparing the
submittal according to jurisdiction
guidelines.
|
Once the project is submitted
to the jurisdiction, we proceed
according to schedule,
staying in communication
with each department to
obtain prompt feedback. We
know immediately when comments
or corrections are available
and final fees and bonds
have been figured for each
prerequisite including the tract
map, conditional use permit,
water/sewer improvement
plans, fire agency approval,
precise grading plan process,
building permit process and
more. We expeditiously get the
corrections to the design team
and back to the agency for
final approval.
Managing condition of
approval clearances and outside
agency approvals concurrently
with the permit process
throughout the project is critical.
Our methods of monitoring
this process allow us to
ensure there are no last
minute costly surprises.

We are experts at solving code
interpretation issues with the
building plan checker that
often arise during the building
permit process and can cause
delays. As ICBO members, we
have extensive knowledge of
the codes and play a major
role in guiding the design
team, contractor and developer
in resolving problems.
Construction/
Inspection Support/
Owners Representative
Once the stamped approved
plans and job cards are with
the superintendent, we manage
all building revision plan
check approvals and inspection
problems. We know the
jurisdiction's process for calling
inspections and who to
contact if communication
problems occur.
|
Occupancy
Coordination
Final inspections prior
to occupancy are critical to the
developer and occupant. Our
expertise on the process and
requirements of each jurisdiction
allows us to obtain final
inspections swiftly.
When you face such obstacles
as needing a permit for
which you hadn't planned or
meeting a tough inspection
deadline, or you're having
problems obtaining an
approval, J.L. Hare Associates
will find a resolution to your
problems and get you what
you need to move your project
ahead. Our strong relationships
with city and county
staff and officials, knowledge
of jurisdictional regulations
and expectations, and ability
to cut through the maze of red
tape paves the way for construction
to continue without
missing a beat.
|
J.L. Hare Associates has
exceptionally strong ties with
agencies in more than 40
Southern California jurisdictions.
In fact, city and county
governments often rely on the
J.L. Hare Associates staff to
learn about issues regarding
construction, engineering and
architecture, and to assist in
developing agency policy and
regulations. As a result, the
company has been responsible
for many permitting process
reforms at numerous agencies
throughout Southern California.
