Approvals’ management is critical to project delivery to ensure that work is carried out within the legal framework, is reviewed and approved by relevant stakeholders, and meets all necessary requirements such as legal compliance, budgets, and alignment with organizational goals. Using our interaction experience with state authorities and other permitting, licensing and inspection organizations we help our Clients in prompt obtaining of all the necessary permits and approvals and complying with local legislation at all levels.
In practice, our approval process for efficient and successful project execution includes the following steps:
