Yes. All commercial construction projects in Georgia require permits. Whether you are planning a ground-up build, tenant improvement, or major renovation, permits are necessary to ensure compliance with state and local codes. Blue Frog handles this process for you, removing the guesswork and ensuring your project moves forward smoothly.
Permit applications are submitted to local municipalities. Depending on the project, applications may require architectural plans, engineering plans, and/or regulatory documentation. This process can be time-consuming and complex, but Blue Frog simplifies it for our clients. Unlike many firms where permitting is just one of many responsibilities assigned to a project manager, Blue Frog has a dedicated in-house permitting coordinator. This specialized role ensures that every application is prepared accurately, submitted promptly, and monitored closely. Our coordinator works directly with municipal officials, helping to streamline approvals and reduce costly delays.
Inspections are a critical part of every commercial construction project. In Georgia, inspections typically occur at multiple stages, including foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, and final occupancy. While certain trade partners may be required to schedule their own inspections, Blue Frog actively oversees the process. Our team coordinates with all parties, meets with inspectors on site, and ensures that every phase of your project meets state and local requirements. This hands-on approach keeps your project compliant, on schedule, and moving forward without unnecessary setbacks.
Commercial construction in Georgia must comply with the local building codes and regulations of each municipality. These codes are based on widely adopted standards such as the International Building Code (IBC), energy codes, and specialty requirements for healthcare and safety. At Blue Frog, our design-build team is experienced in navigating these local variations and consistently delivers facilities that meet or exceed all applicable requirements.
Timelines for permitting depend on the scope of work and the municipality. On average, obtaining a permit approval takes 60-90 days. For larger ground-up projects, this process can take up to a year to complete. Our permitting coordinator conducts upfront research based on project-specific data to provide clients with an estimate of our anticipated timeline. Since Blue Frog has both design and construction under the same roof, we are able to accelerate permitting through coordinated submissions and proactive communication with local officials.
