Permitting

The Wetland Protect Act and the Scenic Mountain Act (SMAct) help keep our Berkshire ecology vibrant and our views attractive. But these and other town-enacted planning provisions offer challenges for residential and commercial landscaping projects. We’ve had a lot of success representing our clients before local governmental boards and commissions in public hearings.

Many projects require permits prior to any construction taking place. We work closely with the client and their "Team" on projects that need permitting. We represent our clients before local governmental boards and commissions in public hearings.

Permits that we specialize in include Wetland Protection Act, Scenic Mountains Act and Planning. We approach each permit carefully knowing that each town or city has their own nuances for reviewing and determining application requirements.

At Okerstrom-Lang, we approach every permit carefully, knowing that each town or city has its own nuances for reviewing and determining application requirements. Often these projects require working with a team including lawyers, architects and engineers. Since the permitting process can be tedious and technical, we’re happy to provide this service to our clients.

We look forward to hearing from you about any projects concerning design, permitting, master planning or construction management.
