Land development and construction are complex projects with several moving parts. Permitting and regulatory compliance are often challenging aspects of these projects.
Compliance varies by location and project needs, leading to confusion, delays, and/or penalties, especially if regulations are in flux. Staying up-to-date on regulatory requirements and your existing permits can help ensure project progress. Still, compliance assurance can fall to the wayside when there is an ever-growing to-do list.
Having a partner with expertise about local, state, and federal regulations who can perform compliance assurance can keep these large-scale projects moving on time.
What Is Compliance Assurance?
Compliance assurance refers to a specialized understanding of construction and land development permits. A person specializing in compliance assurance has the comprehensive technical know-how and organization to ensure that all necessary permits are obtained, deadlines are met, and all regulatory requirements are followed to avoid penalties or project delays.
While project managers oversee all aspects of a development or construction project, someone spearheading compliance assurance solely focuses on the regulatory portion of a project, giving it the focus and time needed to ensure the project is consistently compliant and operating within its permits.
