BUILDING PERMITTING & ENTITLEMENTS

Permitting Is Complicated. We Make It Seamless.

Man signing paperwork

Navigating permits can be one of the most frustrating parts of a building project. 

Every city, county, and state has its own processes—and without the right guidance, delays and red tape can quickly derail your timeline. At Catalyst Architecture, Planning, and Development, we manage the full permitting process for residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects across Colorado and Arizona — with deep experience in Denver, Boulder, Phoenix, and beyond.

We know the codes. We know the systems. And we know how to keep your project moving forward.

  • How do I start building a custom home in Denver or Colorado?
    Making the right choices shouldn’t be a guessing game. At Catalyst Architecture, Planning & Development, we simplify complex architectural design decisions for people beginning their custom home journey. From the first consultation to the final design, we ensure you feel confident every step of the way—with clarity, answers to your questions, and guidance on things you may not have considered yet.
  • Can you help me visualize my new home before it’s built?
    Absolutely. We know flat blueprints and static renderings can be hard to picture. Using 3D visualization, photorealistic renderings, and interactive design tools, we bring your ideas, chosen finishes, and floor plan to life—so you can “walk through” your home and see it from every angle before construction begins.
  • How do you prevent budget surprises during a custom build?
    We believe in budget transparency from day one. Our team provides accurate cost estimates and helps you plan so your custom home budget aligns with your vision. Throughout the process, you’ll have clear, itemized updates—avoiding the “gotchas” and unexpected expenses that can derail a project.
  • Want to skip the frustrating permits and forms?
    Navigating building regulations can be frustrating for new home builders. We manage the entire permitting process, ensuring your design meets all local codes and compliance—without delays.
