Permit rejections are one of the biggest (and most frustrating) roadblocks in construction. In this episode of Constructive Conversations with Tatiana, Tatiana Gust breaks down the real reasons permits get rejected and what contractors, architects, and property owners can do to prevent them before they ever happen.
From incomplete applications and inconsistent plans to code misinterpretations and missed details, Tatiana explains the most common rejection triggers she sees every day, and how a proactive, organized approach can save weeks (or months) of back-and-forth with jurisdictions.
This episode is packed with practical insights, real-world examples, and expert tips to help you submit cleaner applications, reduce resubmittals, and keep your projects moving forward with confidence.
Whether you’re pulling your first permit or managing multiple projects at once, this episode will help you avoid delays, protect your timelines, and build smarter.
