How we work

A coordinated process, step by step

  1. Review and roadmap

    We review the business, property records and current status, then organize the required opening steps.

  2. Applications

    We prepare or coordinate the agreed submissions and follow up with the municipal departments.

  3. Inspections

    We help prepare the premises for required inspections and track corrections and follow-up visits.

  4. Opening approvals

    We track the remaining licenses and approvals within scope through the final municipal steps.

Your part in the process

What we need from you

  • Provide business information, property records and available plans.
  • Approve decisions and complete requested signatures.
  • Arrange required physical work and pay municipal and specialist fees.

Scope and responsibilities

BPM coordinates the approval process. Construction and licensed professional services are carried out by the appropriate contractors and specialists under separate agreements.

When needed, we can recommend architects, engineers, attorneys and contractors. Their services and fees are agreed separately.

Cost

from $1,600

Standard project coordination starts at $1,600. We agree on the scope, fee and payment schedule before work begins.

If the initial review identifies an additional zoning approval or hearing, we clarify the revised scope and fee before proceeding.

Government and permit fees, and services provided by architects, engineers, attorneys and contractors, are paid separately from BPM fees.

Timing

Plan around the approval process

Standard projects typically take 3–6 weeks from submission of the complete document package to the municipality. Document preparation, renovation and physical preparation of the premises are separate. Timing depends on the property, municipal review and required revisions; it is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed opening date.

Questions

Before you get started

What does BPM handle?

We coordinate the agreed approval process: property and zoning review, application preparation or coordination, municipal follow-up, specialist communication and inspection preparation. You receive regular updates on progress, outstanding items and decisions needed from you. Legal, design and other licensed professional services are provided separately by the appropriate specialists.

How much does project coordination cost?

Standard projects start at $1,600. Projects requiring additional zoning approvals or public hearings are quoted individually. We agree on the scope, fee and payment schedule before work begins.

How long does the process take?

Standard projects typically take 3–6 weeks; projects requiring public hearings generally take 2–3 months. These planning estimates start when the complete document package is submitted to the municipality. Document preparation, renovation and physical preparation of the premises are separate. Actual timing depends on municipal review, hearing schedules and required revisions.
