The Challenges and Solutions in Permitting

How we Stand Out

Our Services

Zoning Plans

We specialize in expediting zoneing plans with district and local committees at any scale. Over the years we have conducted statutory proceedings for entrepreneurial companies, reniwable energy companies and financial companies.

Building Permits

Since the entry into force of Amendment 101 to the Planning and Building Law, licensing procedures in Israel have become more complex and challenging. Our professional team accompanies Urban Renewal companies, retail companies and financial entities and manages the licensing procedures professionally, efficiently and quickly. Among the projects we are managing are abuilding permit for a residential complex in Herzliya as part of an Urban Renovation project, a building permit for an office building in Petah Tikva and a permit for an evacuation and construction project offor a residential complex in North Tel Aviv.

No. 4 Form and Certificate of Completion

After completing detailed planning processes, arduous licensing procedures, an execution that also poses quite a few challenges, the desired population stage arrives. Proper management of recieving Form 4 and of the Certificate of Completion allows developers to maintain the continuity between the completion of construction and occupancy. The professional team of Netivei Hakama accompanies urban renewalentrepreneurs, income-producing real estate developers and retailers.

Feasibility Tests and Creating Permitting Strategy

Programming testing and building a licensing strategy is an important step before starting a project. The purpose of this activity is to create a database of the statutory and licensing information on the basis of which it will be possible to understand the alternatives for the procedures and the meaning of each procedure from a planning point of view. Building the strategy is combinedand coordinated with the client, the consultants, the planning and the various licensing authorities.

Business Permits

Managing Business Permitting projects require experience and expertise. Getting a Business Permit involves coordinating between a number of licensing authorities, execution and an in-depth knowledge of the relevant laws and regulations. The responsibility for running a business with a license lies with the business owner, even if he is the owner of a national chain with multiple branches. Therefore, an effective prompt and accurate handling of the business Permitting process is required. We at Netivey hakama have extensive experience in managing these procedures. Over the years we have handled about 150 Business Permits for high-risk businesses such as gas stations, factories, and coffe shops.
