Information about Residential Construction Processes

The Commercial Development Process

Commercial development includes 3 phases:

  • The Planning Phase involves assuring the proper zoning and potentially a Site Plan Review.
  • The Permitting Phase includes applying for all necessary building and trade permits then staff review and permit issuance.
  • The Construction Phase includes proper inspections and ultimately culminates in a Certificate of Occupancy.
