If you’ve ever started a construction project in Houston, you know the permitting process isn’t always straightforward. Between navigating city departments, filling out paperwork, and waiting for approvals, permitting can quickly become one of the most frustrating and time-consuming parts of a project.
That’s where a permit expediting service comes in.
A permit expeditor—or permit runner—is a professional who manages the permitting process on your behalf. Instead of juggling forms, application portals, and inspection schedules yourself, you hand it off to someone who does it every day and knows the system inside and out.
At GHLP Services, we handle everything from submitting permit applications to coordinating with city departments and resolving issues that cause delays. Our team understands local codes, documentation requirements, and agency workflows, which means fewer errors and faster approvals.
Here’s a quick look at what a permit expediting service typically handles:
Application Prep & Submission – Ensuring forms are complete, accurate, and submitted to the right departments
Document Coordination – Gathering site plans, contractor info, and supporting documents
Agency Communication – Following up with city reviewers, responding to corrections, and tracking progress
Inspection Scheduling – Coordinating required inspections for project milestones
Issue Resolution – Troubleshooting rejections or delays and helping get things back on track
Whether you’re applying for a residential remodel, a commercial Certificate of Occupancy, or an event permit, the process is easier with an expert guiding the way.
If you’re only pulling one simple permit and have plenty of time on your hands, you may be fine handling it yourself. But for most contractors, business owners, developers, or event planners, hiring a permit expeditor is a smart investment.
It saves time, reduces frustration, and minimizes the risk of costly delays or rejections. You stay focused on your project—while we stay focused on the paperwork.
At GHLP Services, we help homeowners, contractors, and business owners move forward faster. Let us handle the red tape so you can get back to building.
