What permit coordination covers
Permit services on Denver-metro projects means assembling the right applications: building (the building log), zoning, Sewer Use and Drainage, and ROW when the work leaves the lot. Submittals go through Denver e-permits (Accela Citizen Access). A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the package, design professionals, and licensed specialty trades. Cost is project-specific and depends on review path and how many agencies are in the log.

How Denver e-permits works
Register at denvergov.org/epermits, then Development Services > Apply for a Permit and select the building log. Upload drawings, track comments, pay fees, and schedule inspections in the same portal. The residential permitting guide notes permits are no longer issued at the 201 W. Colfax counter; staff still take appointments through denvergov.org/DS. Some roofing, siding, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work can use a quick permit without plan review.
text
Permits and who coordinates the work
City and County of Denver Community Planning and Development reviews building and zoning. DOTI reviews SUDP and ROW. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades plus the design professionals required for the drawings.
text
What buyers should prepare
Project type, any existing drawings, landmark or overlay status, and whether the work looks like a quick permit or a full log.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I still walk into 201 W. Colfax for a permit?
The residential guide says permits are no longer issued at that counter. Apply in e-permits. Staff appointments are booked through denvergov.org/DS.
Who handles permit applications and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project, design professionals, and specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
What is a building log?
The main Development Services building-permit record in e-permits. Zoning, SUDP, and trade permits often attach to or run with that log.
When is a quick permit enough?
CPD lists quick permits for some roofing/siding, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing when the work meets those conditions. Additions and occupancy changes are not quick-permit work.
What information helps define scope?
Project type, drawings if any, landmark status, and city or county.

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.
