Will JCB handle permits and inspections for my project?

Yes – we take care of the entire permit process from start to finish. JCB will prepare and file all the necessary permit applications, track their progress, handle any plan revisions, and see them through to approval and closeout. We also schedule and coordinate all required inspections. In fact, we’ll even stand by you during inspections as your representative, making sure everything goes smoothly. You won’t need to spend your days at City Hall or juggling paperwork – we’ve got all the red tape covered so you can focus on building.

Why use JCB instead of permit software or a typical consulting firm?

JCB offers something software and generic consultants can’t. We provide real human expertise, in real time. It’s a streamlined, app-enabled platform backed by seasoned construction pros. A software tool might give you checklists, but it won’t show up on-site when an inspector arrives. Traditional consultants often charge a lot and only cover a slice of the job and you might wait days for a call back. With JCB, there’s no guessing and no waiting. Our Trade Techs (verified experts) can jump on a video call or be at your site as needed. We roll up our sleeves to solve problems on the spot, whereas others leave you with reports or algorithms. It’s practical, hands-on support that keeps your project moving without the fluff.

Who does JCB work with?

We partner with homeowners, contractors, and architects alike. Whether you’re a homeowner managing a renovation or a general contractor running multiple jobs, JCB is built to support you. We frequently help architects and designers, too, by consulting on code requirements and streamlining the permit process for their plans. In short, if you’re involved in a construction or remodeling project, we can work with you. Our team knows how to speak the language of DIY enthusiasts and seasoned pros, bridging the gap so everyone stays on the same page.

What types of projects can JCB support?

We support projects of all sizes – from small home improvements to new builds. Here are just a few examples of what we handle:

• Home Renovations: Kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement finishings, and whole-home makeovers.

• Additions & Extensions: Adding a new room, a second-story addition, or a deck – we’ll help navigate the permits and plans.

• New Builds: Ground-up construction for homes or light commercial projects, where we manage permits, inspections, and coordination.

• Remodels & Upgrades: Whether it’s a simple wall removal or a major structural remodel, we ensure it meets code and runs smoothly.

If it’s a construction or renovation project, chances are JCB has you covered. Residential, commercial, or industrial – if you’re building it, we’re here to support it.

Can JCB help me find good local contractors or tradespeople?

Absolutely. We maintain a network of vetted local pros – our trusted Trade Techs – and can connect you with the right people for your job. JCB doesn’t just pull names off the internet; we verify licenses, insurance, and track record for every contractor we recommend. Many of our partner contractors come through referrals and have proven themselves on past projects. We look for quality workmanship and reliability above all. The result? When we suggest a plumber, electrician, or builder, you can be confident they know their stuff and will show up as promised. We’ve done the homework so you don’t have to.

Does JCB handle my whole project or just the permits and planning?

Think of JCB as your project’s on-call construction support team, not the one swinging the hammer. We coordinate and manage everything surrounding the build: permits, inspections, scheduling, troubleshooting, and keeping all parties in sync. You will still have a general contractor and trades doing the physical construction (or you might be doing some work yourself), but we make sure nothing falls through the cracks. We’re there to guide and manage the process alongside you or your contractor. In short, we don’t replace your builder – we supercharge them. You get the full benefit of our expertise and oversight, ensuring the project stays on track without us actually picking up a hammer or drill.

When is the best time to involve JCB in a project?

The earlier, the better. Bringing JCB in at the very start of your project pays off big time. We can review your ideas or architectural plans early to spot any red flags with building codes or permits before they become roadblocks. For example, our team can perform a Budget BluePrint Report upfront to align your design with your budget and local regulations, so you won’t get hit with surprises later. By involving us from day one, you’ll save time and avoid costly revisions – we’ll set a solid foundation (figuratively speaking) before you pour any concrete. Of course, if you’re mid-project and need help, we can jump in then too. But clients who loop us in early often breeze through permitting and hit fewer snags, making the whole build more efficient.

How fast is JCB’s process, and can it adapt if my plans change?

Lightning-fast and built for real-world changes. We know construction timelines can be tight, so we work at the speed of the job site, not corporate bureaucracy. Need an answer from us? You’ll get real-time support via phone, chat, or in-person visit often immediately, and always as quickly as possible. In emergencies, we even offer same-day on-site support to tackle issues before they snowball. As for flexibility, if your scope changes or you run into an unexpected problem, we pivot on the fly. We can reschedule inspections, fast-track permit revisions, or line up a new subcontractor from our network without missing a beat. The bottom line:

”JCB moves as fast as you build, adapting to keep your project on track every step of the way.”
