More Than Paper Pushers

At Bohler DC, permit expediting is not just a service, it’s a strategic advantage. We offer a single point of contact who manages your project from start to finish, helping to eliminate confusion and keep your timeline on track. With our proactive approach, you always have someone who knows the full picture—status, history, and next steps. 

Built on Engineering Expertise

Our roots in site civil engineering give us a distinct edge. We don’t just file applications or upload plans through the District’s permitting systems, we understand the technical details behind your site plans and how to navigate Washington, DC’s complex regulatory and zoning requirements. That means faster approvals, fewer surprises, and better coordination across agencies such as the Department of Buildings (DOB), District Department of Transportation (DDOT), Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE), DC Water, the Office of Zoning (DCOZ), and other key review agencies.  

In Step with Your Project Team

Expediting starts before anything is submitted. We work side-by-side with your project team to review plans, flag potential issues, and align with agency requirements. That collaboration leads to smoother reviews, fewer rejections, and faster approvals, saving everyone time and frustration. 

Mastering Washington, DC’s Permitting Process

Throughout the permitting process, our team collaborates with key District agencies and review groups, including the Department of Buildings (DOB), District Department of Transportation (DDOT), Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE), DC Water, Office of Zoning (DCOZ), Office of the Surveyor (DCSO), Urban Forestry Division (UFD), Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA), Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB), Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), WMATA, and other stakeholders involved in development approvals.
