Regulatory & Compliance Advisory

Regulatory Mapping List all required approvals and permits. For long-lead items, industry best practice is to assess project scope early, identify critical permits and their timelines, and shift preparation to an earlier project phase.

Early Engagement Consult with agencies while concepts are still flexible. Submit preliminary information or screening requests to get initial feedback. This input can then be incorporated into design to avoid rework later.

Schedule & Budget Integration Include permit milestones in your project schedule and cost estimates. Allocate contingency for regulatory risk. If possible, run permit processes in parallel with design work to keep the project timeline tight.

The result is an integrated regulatory plan: a list of required approvals, their expected timelines, and current status. For example, if an environmental permit is needed, the plan will note its typical duration and dependencies. Having this in place prevents costly surprises during execution.

Our Regulatory & Compliance Advisory team works with clients from the start. We identify permit requirements, advise on local rules, and build approval roadmaps. By aligning permits with design milestones, we help projects stay on schedule without last-minute regulatory surprises.
