Permit and Inspection Correction Assistance in San Antonio

Corrections are not a verdict on your project. They are a list. Somebody has to read the list, understand it and answer it.

Got corrections? Send us the notice. Call [PHONE]

If you just got a correction notice

Send it to us. That is genuinely the fastest first step. Correction notices are written for people who work in the permit process every day, which is why they read as intimidating to everyone else.

Most of what looks alarming is procedural: a missing sheet, an unclear dimension, information that exists but is not shown where the reviewer needs to see it. Those get resolved by producing the right document, not by starting over.

Situations we see

  • Corrections Required status on your submission
  • Plans rejected at review
  • An inspector requested changes on site
  • Missing or incomplete information on the drawings
  • Comments you do not understand
  • A resubmittal is required and you do not know what to change
  • A failed inspection that came down to a documentation problem
  • A fire inspection correction that needs documentation within our scope

How we handle it

First we read what was actually written, item by item, and separate it into three groups: what we can prepare, what you or your contractor has to physically do in the space, and what requires a licensed professional.

Then we tell you which is which before you spend anything. You get a straight answer about whether this is a documentation problem or a construction problem, because those have very different costs.

What this is not

We do not certify code compliance, approve anything, or speak on behalf of any reviewing authority. We prepare documentation and help you respond. The decision always belongs to the authority having jurisdiction.

Send us any of these

PDF, JPG or PNG. A clear phone photo of a paper notice works.

  • The correction notice
  • The inspection report
  • Email from the reviewing department
  • Portal comments or screenshots
  • Your existing drawings
  • Photos of the space or the flagged condition

Permit Corrections: common questions

I got a notice that says Corrections Required. What does that mean?

In general it means the review is not finished and specific items need to be addressed before it can continue. It is a normal stage of the process, not a rejection of your business. What matters is the specific list attached to it, so send us that list rather than working from the status alone.

My business failed an inspection. Can you fix it?

It depends entirely on why it failed. If it failed because documentation was missing, incomplete or did not match the space, that is squarely what we do. If it failed because something physical in the space has to change, you need a contractor, and possibly a licensed specialist. We will tell you which one you are dealing with after reading the report.

How fast can you turn corrections around?

Our production time depends on scope, and correction responses are usually faster than an original submission because the scope is defined by the list. We will commit to a date for our part. We cannot commit to a date for the review that follows.

Do I have to start over?

Usually not. Corrections are typically resolved by revising and resubmitting rather than by restarting. That is one of the first things we can tell you after reading the notice.
