What this covers
Temporary power, weather cover, and staging support for an outdoor event — not touring concert production. Generators, distribution, and cable ramps are planned against the site and Denver right-of-way rules.

How the work is coordinated
Live-event lighting and DJ packages are separate trades and are not claimed here. Denver-metro work is permitted locally. Colorado has no statewide general-contractor license. Cities and counties license general contractors. DORA licenses electrical and plumbing (and similar regulated trades), not general contractors. Autotelic is a municipally licensed Denver general contractor that coordinates licensed specialty trades. Denver building permits run through Community Planning and Development (CPD). Costs are project-specific; no dollar figures.
FAQ
Common questions
Who handles the outdoor event infrastructure permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates licensed specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general-contractor license; cities and counties license general contractors. DORA licenses electrical and plumbing, not general contractors.
What is typically in scope for outdoor event infrastructure in Denver?
Temporary power, weather cover, and staging support for an outdoor event — not touring concert production.
When do you need drawings or a permit?
Anything that changes structure, occupancy, or regulated electrical or plumbing usually needs a local permit. Denver building permits are reviewed by Community Planning and Development. Confirm the exact trigger with CPD for the address.

FAQ
Common questions
Can you build code-compliant restaurant patios and outdoor spaces?
Yes — outdoor dining and event spaces need the same municipal permitting and inspections as interior work, and we handle structures, power, lighting, and finishes as one scope.
When should we start to be ready for patio season?
Earlier than most people think — permits and site work take time. Reach out with your target opening and we will lay out a realistic schedule.
Do you coordinate with landlords and the city?
Yes — tenant, landlord, and municipality all have a say in outdoor build-outs. We manage those approvals as part of the project.

DESIGN SERVICES
Discovery & Site Analysis
Needs + preference programming, site survey, as-built documentation, feasibility.
We walk, measure, and photograph your property — existing conditions, utilities, structure, and constraints. You get the as-built documentation and feasibility read that every later decision rests on.
Learn more →Concept Design & Space Planning
Schematic design, floor plan studies, layout options.
Your scope becomes schematic floor plans you can compare side by side — circulation, daylight, adjacencies, and what each option does to the budget. Layout decisions happen on paper, where changes are cheap.
Learn more →Architectural Design & 3D Renderings
Design development, materials + finishes, photorealistic visualization.
The chosen concept resolves into materials, finishes, fixtures, and lighting — with the automation layer drawn in. Photorealistic renderings let you walk the space and adjust before anything is priced.
Learn more →Construction Documents & Permitting
Full CD sets, structural + MEP engineering coordination, permit-ready drawings.
Approved designs become coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP sheets — the set your jurisdiction permits from and trades build from. We submit, track, and answer review comments.
