As the Department of Buildings transitions from DOB BIS to DOB NOW, filing processes, terminology, and local laws are changing. These changes can affect permitting strategy, project timelines, and roles and responsibilities in the entitlement process. We help owners, developers, contractors, and design professionals navigate these changes to keep projects moving forward.
