FAQ
Learn how to streamline your permitting with GreenLite.
What is GreenLite and how does it help with permitting?
GreenLite combines expert compliance reviews, full-service permit management, and proprietary technology to eliminate permitting delays. Our team ensures compliance before submission, reducing resubmissions and securing approvals faster. With real-time tracking, proactive code checks, and jurisdiction-specific intelligence, we keep your projects on schedule.
Unlike a traditional expediter that simply moves paperwork, GreenLite is a technology-enabled permitting partner. Our experts proactively conduct compliance reviews, jurisdiction-specific checks, and resubmission strategies to eliminate delays before they happen.
What is Private Plan Review (PPR), and where is it allowed?
PPR allows certified experts to review, approve, and stamp plans before submission in jurisdictions that allow it—bypassing municipal backlogs. Where PPR isn’t permitted, GreenLite still conducts compliance reviews pre-submission, reducing revision cycles and speeding up approvals.
What types of projects does GreenLite support?
GreenLite works with developers, builders, owners, and national brands to secure permits for a variety of project types. We support ground-up construction, tenant improvements, renovations, and multi-site rollouts across QSRs, retailers, healthcare facilities, schools, banks, EV infrastructure, and more. Our team ensures every project meets jurisdictional requirements for faster, smoother approvals.
How does GreenLite’s technology improve the permitting process?
GreenLite’s platform provides real-time visibility, compliance automation, and jurisdictional insights to streamline permitting. Atlas serves as a centralized dashboard, giving you instant access to permit status, timelines, and next steps across all projects. LiteTable powers GreenLite’s in-house compliance reviews, ensuring code issues are caught early and revisions are minimized.
Can GreenLite help with multiple permits across different locations?
Yes! GreenLite specializes in multi-location permitting, streamlining approvals across jurisdictions with a centralized dashboard, compliance intelligence, and permit tracking tools—perfect for brands scaling across multiple sites.
How does GreenLite work with my architect, engineer, or general contractor?
GreenLite fully integrates with your team to review plans, address code compliance violations, and streamline approvals. We know what AHJs are looking for and conduct preemptive compliance reviews to reduce time spent in revision cycles. Our team works hand-in-hand with your architects, engineers, and GCs to secure faster approvals with fewer delays.
What types of permits does GreenLite support?
GreenLite handles a wide range of permits, including building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire, and accessibility compliance. We also assist with select ancillary permits like site, utility, and business-related approvals. Our team ensures each permit package is complete, code-compliant, and optimized for faster approval.
How does GreenLite track and manage permit approvals?
Through Atlas, our centralized tracking platform, you get real-time updates on every permit in your pipeline. From submission to approval, you’ll always know the current status, responsible parties, and required next steps, eliminating guesswork and delays.
What happens if my project encounters permitting issues or delays?
GreenLite proactively manages issues by identifying compliance gaps early, coordinating directly with AHJs, and guiding your team through resubmissions. If challenges arise, we advocate for solutions, keeping your project on track and minimizing costly setbacks.
What if my project is in a jurisdiction that doesn’t allow Private Plan Review (PPR)?
Even where PPR isn’t allowed, GreenLite conducts pre-submission compliance reviews to catch and resolve issues before they reach the AHJ. This minimizes revision cycles, reduces back-and-forth, and helps you get your permit faster.
