For developers
Keep permits, property, and project delivery on the same path.
When land, design, utilities, and agency approvals move on separate tracks, delays and surprises follow. Relay gives developers practical project controls and senior coordination to keep the dependencies visible and decisions moving.
A clearer route from site work to approvals.
Relay can help you establish an approval roadmap, coordinate property and agency interfaces, connect permitting milestones to the overall schedule, and report risks and decisions in a format your team can use.
What that looks like
- A working permit and entitlement tracker with owners, dependencies, and target dates
- An integrated view of agency, utility, environmental, design, and construction interfaces
- Concise milestone and risk reporting, with clear next actions
Relevant experience
Controls built around the project—not the other way around.
Relay principal Mike Smith built the permitting and scheduling program for Sound Transit’s West Seattle Link Extension, connecting a complex permit workload to program milestones, agency coordination, and executive reporting.
Clear ownership, connected milestones, and early visibility into approval risk.
