Avoid costly delays and move forward with confidence. We manage every step of the CEQA and EIR process statewide.
Ah, CEQA—the four-letter word that can make or break your project timeline. The California Environmental Quality Act requires cities and agencies to assess how a project might impact the environment before giving it the green light. Depending on your project’s complexity, you may need one of the following:
Each type has its own level of review, and yes—some of them can drag on (if you let them). The good news? We help you make sense of what’s needed and how to tackle it without the chaos.
Every project has its quirks. Some breeze through CEQA. Others feel like an endless loop of revisions and reviews. Either way, we help you navigate the process with minimal confusion and maximum clarity.
Here’s what we do:
Work with experienced consultants (traffic, biology, noise—you name it) to ensure all required studies are covered without scrambling at the last minute.
Coordinate IS, ND, MND, or EIR preparation from start to almost-finish—while keeping your project goals, compliance, and agency expectations in check.
Stay in touch with city planners so things don’t get stuck in limbo (or mysteriously disappear into the black hole of someone’s inbox).
Support during public hearings and comment periods to help you respond clearly, calmly, and within the city’s (sometimes fuzzy) timelines.
Help reduce the risk of appeals, rewrites, or CEQA missteps that can cost time, money, and serious momentum when you’re ready to move forward.
We don’t promise miracles—but we do try to keep things moving, legally clean, and as painless as CEQA allows.
We aim to simplify a process that’s anything but simple. From early screening to final sign-off, our team works to keep your review on track, without losing momentum—or your sanity.
We evaluate your project scope, location, and potential impacts to determine the level of CEQA review required and identify any early risks or red flags.
We define technical study requirements and bring in qualified consultants (e.g., traffic, biology, air quality) to begin environmental assessments tailored to your project.
We oversee drafting of the Initial Study, MND, or EIR, ensuring accuracy, legal defensibility, and alignment with agency expectations before formal submittal.
We handle submittals, coordinate with planning staff, and support you through comment periods, community outreach, and public hearings to keep the process moving forward.
We address agency feedback, finalize documents, and help secure CEQA approval—clearing the path for your permits, entitlements, or development plans.
We’ve worked with agencies across Southern California—each with its own rules, timelines, and quirks. We know how to communicate, coordinate, and keep your project from getting buried in paper.
We bring a team together with decades of combined experience in CEQA, EIRs, and land use permitting. We work closely with planners, consultants, and clients to move things forward without overpromising or missing key details.
We won’t say CEQA is easy—but we do know how to make it less painful. We aim to simplify, clarify, and keep you one step ahead—legally and strategically.
CEQA is the law. An EIR (Environmental Impact Report) or Negative Declaration are documents required under CEQA to evaluate and disclose a project’s environmental impacts.
Environmental consultants typically draft the documents, but the local agency reviews and approves them. We coordinate the process to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance.
It depends. A simple project with a Negative Declaration might take a few months. A full EIR could take 6–12 months or longer, depending on complexity and agency timelines.
If your project requires city or county approval, there’s a good chance CEQA applies. We help determine what level of review—if any—is triggered early in the process.
Not directly—but if not handled properly, CEQA delays, appeals, or lawsuits can seriously stall your timeline. Getting it right the first time is critical.
We simplify complex permit processes, helping California businesses and homeowners secure approvals fast, hassle-free, and fully compliant.
