Change-of-Use Permit

Permit packages for change-of-use conversions — occupancy reclassification, life-safety, and multi-discipline engineering.

The Challenge

Change-of-use permits reclassify a building's occupancy (e.g., warehouse to office, retail to restaurant), triggering life-safety, parking, ADA, and often structural and MEP upgrades. These are complex reviews with high rejection rates for incomplete documentation.

How QuiPermit Helps

QuiPermit coordinates your change-of-use permit package — occupancy reclassification, life-safety, MEP, and structural engineering — and expedites it through commercial review.

The Process

1) Consultation — current and proposed occupancy. 2) Multi-discipline engineering and life-safety analysis. 3) Occupancy reclassification and parking/ADA review. 4) Submit and expedite.

What's Typically Required

Architectural drawings, sealed structural/MEP engineering, life-safety and egress plans, ADA compliance path, and occupancy documentation.

Typical Cost

Change-of-use permit packages vary significantly by occupancy and jurisdiction. Call for a free consultation.

Typical Timeline
