Accelerating Project Delivery Through Innovative Permitting Solutions
Identifying practical alternatives to traditional processes helped reduce costs, shorten timelines, and keep a critical infrastructure project moving forward.
The Situation
Percheron supported an infrastructure project facing budget and schedule constraints that limited the ability to engage a survey provider. Traditional survey exhibits were needed to support permitting requirements, but the associated costs and onboarding timeline threatened to delay project progress and impact overall efficiency.
The Strategy
Our team identified an alternative approach that leveraged engineer-generated exhibits in place of traditional survey deliverables. We provided guidance on applicable permitting requirements, reviewed exhibit materials for compliance, and managed the application submission process. This streamlined solution enabled the project team to satisfy regulatory requirements while avoiding the cost and time associated with procuring survey services.
The Success
By implementing a more efficient permitting strategy, the project advanced on an accelerated schedule while reducing overall project costs. The successful outcome demonstrated that, for certain project types, engineer-generated exhibits can provide a practical and compliant alternative to traditional survey products. The approach established a replicable best practice for future projects with limited budgets or aggressive timelines, delivering measurable savings while maintaining project momentum and strengthening stakeholder confidence.
