JWS Consulting – Olympia Permit, Planning & Construction Services

Olympia Building Support, Permit Guidance & Site Coordination

🏛️ Olympia Builds Demand Experience and Foresight

Whether you're inside the City of Olympia limits or working a rural Thurston County parcel, your project will be reviewed by people who know the rules inside out—and expect you to follow them. Small mistakes can cost you weeks.

JWS Consulting works directly with Olympia’s Community Planning Department and Thurston County Building Services to help you submit smarter, build cleaner, and finish faster.

🛠️ What We Offer in Olympia

We support both city and unincorporated area projects, bringing local permitting fluency and build-smart coordination to every phase.

✅ Olympia Services:

  • Site plan creation & setback validation

  • Olympia and Thurston County permit prep

  • Lot research and jurisdiction analysis

  • ADU & garage conversion planning

  • Septic layout support & utility coordination

  • Framing layout for inspections

  • Smart home layout & system coordination

  • Modular/kit home plan corrections

🧠 We know what gets flagged in Olympia, how to draft around it, and how to speak code when the review team calls.

🧾 Why Olympia Is Unique

  • Split jurisdiction: City, County, and UGA overlays create confusion

  • Well and septic systems require coordination with Thurston County Public Health

  • Steep slope, wetland, and drainage reviews are common—even for small builds

  • City zoning may limit lot coverage, ADU use, or driveway access

  • Modular and precut plans often require major revision to pass code

We’ve worked across all of these systems and know how to align your design with real-world enforcement.

  • Modular homebuyers needing permit-ready conversions

🗣️ Client Feedback

🧭 Our Process

1. Discovery & Jurisdiction Review
We confirm whether your parcel is under city, county, or joint rules—and what applies.

2. Site Layout & Planning
We map setbacks, drainage, access, and overlays, then build that into your plan set.

3. Submittal & Coordination
We walk you through Olympia or Thurston County permit systems (or submit on your behalf).

4. Build Support
We assist with layout clarifications, inspection prep, and smart home or utility prewire plans.
