Accelerate Architectural Permits in North Las Vegas- SCA Design

Image result for certification

Need architectural permits approved for construction? How do you accelerate the architectural permit process? Permits for architecture projects usually take weeks, now, SCA Design can get them approved in as soon as four days.

Accelerate Architectural Permits

SCA Design’s principal architect Sheldon Colen has just completed the City of North Las Vegas’ Self Certification Program. He is one of the 16 architects to be certified in the city to expedite architectural permits for construction documents. The program assists in accelerating the traditional plan review process for eligible development projects.

The city only offers this program to licensed professionals who are Architects, Civil Engineers, Engineers, and Landscape Architects. You must be an architect or structural engineer in Nevada with sufficient work experience to certify building plans and also satisfy the professional liability insurance requirement. After a one-day (8-hour) class that costs $1,500, a licensed professional obtains the ability to self-certify projects accelerating the permitting process. The certificate needs to be renewed annually. Self-certification enables a revolutionary improvement to the timeline of current architectural projects. Approval times are immensely reduced, and this offers faster service to clients. The upgrade over traditional approval times is a major milestone for services provided to SCA Design clients.
