Understand the permit
What is a new construction permit?
A new construction permit is an approval issued by the responsible authority for construction of a new building. Depending on the jurisdiction and project, the building permit may be accompanied by separate sitework, trade, utility, fire, or other approvals.
A full build package is the coordinated set of applications and supporting documents for the agreed project scope. It is not necessarily a single permit, and different agencies may require separate filings or prerequisite approvals.
Alliance helps organize that administrative process. The architect, engineer, contractor, and other qualified professionals provide the design and technical documents; the reviewing authorities decide whether to approve them.

Build a complete submission
The package starts with the project team.
Common documents to organize
- Property address, parcel details, and owner authorization
- Site plan or survey and applicable prerequisite approvals
- Architectural and structural plans
- Required energy, accessibility, and supporting calculations
- Trade and fire-system documents applicable to the filing
- Contractor credentials, project valuation, and agency forms
The authority’s current checklist determines the actual requirements. Some items are separate permits or later submittals rather than part of the initial building application.

Frequently asked questions
New Construction FAQs
Does one new construction permit cover every trade?
Not always. Electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire, sitework, and utility scopes may require separate applications or permits. Alliance identifies the administrative filing paths for the agreed scope.
Can you help before the final drawings are ready?
Yes. We can research the filing path and organize the requirement checklist while your design team develops the documents. Submission still depends on the authority’s readiness and completeness requirements.
Do you prepare or stamp construction plans?
Alliance provides administrative permit services. Design, calculations, professional seals, and technical revisions remain with the appropriately qualified design professionals.
Can a foundation permit be filed before the full building permit?
Some authorities allow phased permits; others restrict them or impose conditions. The availability, scope, and sequencing must be confirmed with the reviewing authority for the project.
Are inspections and a certificate of occupancy included?
They are separate milestones from initial permit issuance. Inspection scheduling, certificate-of-occupancy assistance, and closeout support must be included in the agreed engagement or scoped separately.
How do you price a new construction filing package?
The quote depends on the location, project complexity, number of applications, current filing stage, and requested service scope. Government fees and third-party professional services are separate unless your agreement says otherwise.
