How SASHKOV helps

Consultant Coordination

SASHKOV defines, contracts, schedules and checks every licensed scope a project needs (survey, geotechnical, structural, civil and MEP) under one contract, with one point of accountability through permit issuance.

Site Investigation & Due Diligence

Before a purchase, a lease or a design contract, SASHKOV establishes the site as it actually is: its lines, its ground, its utilities, its water and the constraints on it. Each investigation is scoped to the decision in front of the owner and carried out with licensed professionals under one SASHKOV contract.

Feasibility & Regulatory Strategy

Approvals are the most common source of delay on Northwest projects. SASHKOV sets out the approval path before design dollars are spent and manages it through issuance.

Permit & Construction Documents

The documents SASHKOV issues are the record a project is reviewed, financed and built from. Sets follow the US National CAD Standard and are issued under a quality management system aligned with ISO 9001.

Land Use & Entitlements

Zoning, land use reviews, partitions, lot divisions and variances. SASHKOV confirms what a site is allowed to become, prepares the application and carries it through review and conditions of approval.

Corrections & Permit Recovery

Correction letters, stalled reviews, expired permits and stop-work orders. SASHKOV reads every comment, coordinates the responses across disciplines and resubmits until the permit is issued.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was told my farm building does not need a permit. Is that true?

It may be, and the exemption is narrower than most people are told. It generally covers storing farm equipment and produce or housing livestock, and it tends to end once there is human occupancy, retail sale, public access or employees working in the structure. An office or a restroom is usually enough to end it. We give you that answer in writing before the building goes up.

Do I need a land use approval, or just a building permit?

Sometimes both, and the land use path is the long one. Finding that out after the drawings are done is the most expensive way to learn it. It is the first thing we check.
