Services

Mercury Permits handles permit expediting and consulting across a wide range of project types and jurisdictions throughout Texas.

We work with clients at every stage, before submittal, during review, and when things get complicated mid-process. Throughout Texas, we provide:

Commercial Building Permit Expediting

We handle building permits for all types and sizes of projects from small office remodels to ground up high rise hotels, multi-family apartments, biotech buildings, semi-conductor fabrication facilities, restaurants, salons, and everything in between.

Preliminary Review Meetings

We help clients evaluate project requirements and determine the best path forward. When appropriate, we coordinate and participate in preliminary review meetings with City officials and your design team, ensuring key questions are addressed and helping you make the most of the review process.

Pre-Development Permitting Research

Successful projects begin with a clear understanding of regulatory requirements. We provide early-stage permitting and development research, including applicable building and development codes, upcoming regulatory changes, land use considerations, and jurisdiction-specific requirements. Because permitting processes vary significantly between municipalities, we help you understand the unique requirements and approval pathways for your project—regardless of where it is located.

Expedited Review Meetings

Where available (not all jurisdictions have this option), we will provide guidance on whether or not this program makes sense for the project. For projects that qualify and can benefit from this option we will coordinate the full submittal process and attend the Expedited Review Meeting to ensure things go as smoothly and quickly as possible.

Property Due Diligence Research

Before purchasing a property, it's important to understand its regulatory history and future development potential. We conduct research into permit records, property history, zoning and land use considerations, and other factors that may impact your plans. Whether you're evaluating a potential acquisition or recently completed a purchase, we provide the information needed to make informed investment decisions and identify opportunities or challenges early in the process.
