Who needs to be involved?
We help with application work and contact between you, the municipality and the professionals. Where the project needs a responsible applicant, architect or engineer, we help get the right expertise involved. The municipality processes the application and decides whether it can be approved.
From plans to an application
Once drawings and necessary clarifications are in place, we help move the application work forward and follow up questions from the municipality.
