drivewaypermit.com is a civil engineering consultancy focused on driveway access permits. We prepare, review, and defend packages through state DOT, county, and municipal review. Nationwide, flat-fee, fast turnaround.
Whether you are an engineer pushing a site plan through a state DOT, a developer in a revision loop, or a city dealing with a permit backlog, we come in as a focused, senior pair of eyes. Flat-fee, scoped, and turned around fast.
Independent pre-submittal review of your permit package. We catch the code, geometry, and documentation issues that drive revision cycles before the agency sees them.
We help owners, developers, and engineers prepare, submit, and defend access permits with any reviewing agency, including state DOT, county, or city. When a reviewer pushes back, we translate in both directions so the project moves.
On-demand driveway and access management review for small and mid-sized cities. Clear backlogs without hiring, and bring specialized access expertise to staff that may not have it in-house.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence. No surprises, no scope drift. A fixed-fee flow built to minimize the number of trips your package makes through agency review.
You send the site plan, survey, trip generation, and any prior agency correspondence. We return a concise scope, fixed fee, and turnaround within a few business days.
We work the package against the governing standards, including the agency's access management manual, local ordinances, and AASHTO where applicable. Every finding is tied to a citation.
You get a marked-up set, a written review memo, and a reviewer-ready cover narrative. Prioritized by risk: items likely to trigger a revision first, polish items after.
Optional but recommended. We stay on call during agency review to author comment responses and represent the design intent in pre-application or follow-up meetings.
Access management is a published discipline. Reviewers cite from a specific body of work, and our reviews do the same. When we flag an issue, it comes with the chapter and verse.
We work inside the standards, not around them. The first revision loop usually comes from an applicant who applied general design sense to a problem the governing manual has already answered specifically.
Every state DOT publishes its own access management manual or roadway design manual. Counties and cities layer their own ordinances on top, and commercial sites typically trigger a trip-generation threshold that moves the review into turn-lane and spacing territory.
Our job is to meet you where your project is and bring the applicable section forward, with enough rigor that the reviewing agency does not have to rebuild the argument themselves.
Every driveway permit has the same three seats at the table: the applicant's engineer, the owner or developer, and the reviewing agency. We serve each one.
If your firm does adjacent civil work but only occasionally touches access permits, we plug in as the specialist. Your stamp, our review, your client.
Commercial sites, multifamily, fuel retail, industrial. We tighten up the permit before submittal so revision cycles are shorter and fewer. Submit with confidence.
Outsourced plan review with defined turnaround commitments, aligned to your ordinance and adopted standards. Scale capacity without scaling headcount.
