Construction Consulting Services
At Burnham Nationwide we offer a wide range of construction management and consulting services, we are experts in building code consulting, and building permit expediting, but it doesn't end there. From licensing to public way services, land use and zoning our construction consultants are with you every step of the way.

Building Code Consultants
Code compliance in the 21st century is becoming ever more complex with many cities and states interpreting building codes in differing ways.
Our local code and compliance consultants are professionals that secure building permits for contractors, developers, architects, engineers, property managers, real estate agents, and investors.
We achieve this by coordinating the approval process, reviewing blueprints and documents, ensuring zoning, and building code compliance.

Permit Expediter
When new clients need permit expediting services, it is all too often because the building permit application at the department of buildings (DOB) was either incorrect, ambiguous, or contained errors in detail.
By knowing how to navigate the permit management systems and working as efficiently as possible, our specialist permit expediters are able to physically speed up the permit process.
We are specialist corporate permit expediters but we also focus on major municipal projects working with all types of commercial projects.

ADA Compliance
ADA building compliance is essential in the 21st century. ADA compliance is the term used for the American Disabilities Act building guidelines.
This part of the building code compliance process has changed considerably over the past years. At Burnham Nationwide we know ADA building codes as we work on them with many major corporate clients on a daily basis.
ADA accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities can be complicated, but we are here to guide you through the process from inception to completion.
