We specialize in commercial tenant improvement (TI) permits, office and retail renovations, restaurant projects, medical and life science facilities, utility coordination, and planning approvals all across Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
Our team manages every stage of the permitting process—from preparing complete permit applications and coordinating with design consultants to submitting plans, responding to plan check comments, and working directly with the City of Berkeley and utility providers.
With extensive experience in Berkeley's building, planning, zoning, and fire review processes, we help clients avoid unnecessary delays, keep projects moving, and secure permits as efficiently as possible for commercial renovations, tenant improvements, and ground-up development.
How Long Does It Take?
The timeline for obtaining permits in Berkeley can vary depending on the complexity of your project and the type of permits required. Simple permits, such as small-scale renovations or utility connections, can often be secured within a few weeks. However, larger projects—like new construction, land entitlements, or projects requiring multiple permits—may take several months, especially if environmental reviews or zoning approvals are needed.
At Apollo Permits, our goal is to minimize delays by leveraging our relationships with local agencies and thoroughly preparing your application. By addressing potential issues early and expediting the process through in-person follow-ups, we help move your project forward as quickly as possible.
