Utility & Permit Coordination
That Keeps Construction Moving
Prime Utility Operations provides professional utility coordination and permitting management for construction projects. We support General Contractors and developers by managing the complex utility and jurisdictional processes that often delay construction schedules.
Permits and utilities are one of the most common bottlenecks in construction. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, utility providers operate independently, and communication is often inconsistent. Without dedicated coordination, projects can stall for weeks or months.
Prime Utility Operations exists to remove that friction.
We manage utility coordination, permit submissions, plan review corrections, and agency follow-up using structured systems and online portals. Our role is to ensure nothing falls through the cracks, communication is documented, and projects continue moving forward.
Who We Work With
- General Contractors
- Developers
- Project Managers
- Design teams (as a coordination extension)
Our services support residential and commercial projects, including ADUs, multi-unit developments, and mixed-use properties.
What Makes Us Different
Prime Utility Operations is not a permit runner. We operate as a coordination partner that manages the process from submission through approval.
To maintain accountability and efficiency, we work exclusively with jurisdictions that accept online permit applications.

When agencies issue plan review comments or corrections, Prime Utility Operations manages the coordination process to ensure corrections are addressed efficiently.
We interpret agency comments, translate them into clear action items, communicate directly with the responsible designers or engineers, and track resubmittals until approval.
Prime Utility Operations does not revise plans or provide design services. Our role is to manage communication, tracking, and follow-through.
When utility-related site visits or inspections are required, Prime Utility Operations coordinates scheduling between the utility provider, jurisdiction, and contractor to ensure prerequisites are met and documentation is approved prior to the visit.
