Residential Permit Assistance — San Francisco Bay Area
Permit help for homeowners and small residential projects, from ADUs to additions and remodels.
One point of contact
You deal with one person who owns your file, not a queue.
Written status, not guessing
You get told what stage your project is at and what is needed next.
City-by-city process knowledge
Bay Area review differs municipality to municipality. We work the process where your site actually is.
Vetted licensed providers, contracted directly by you
We match a properly licensed provider to the scope and manage them to completion. For regulated trade work that provider is the party of record — you contract with and pay them directly for that scope, and we hold the schedule, the permit and the paperwork.
What is included
- Residential additions, remodels and ADUs
- Owner-builder and contractor submittals
- Inspection scheduling through completion

City by city, across the Bay Area
Requirements differ municipality to municipality. We confirm the process that applies to your specific address rather than assuming another city’s rules apply.
See service areasHow regulated work is handled. BCG provides these services. Where a task is regulated trade work — electrical, plumbing, structural, asbestos or similar — we match a properly licensed provider to the scope and manage them to completion. That provider is the licensed party of record for their own scope, so you contract with and pay them directly for it. BCG owns the permit, the inspection, the documentation and the schedule. We do not claim to hold a licence or certification ourselves.
