Department of Buildings (DOB)

Navigating Chicago’s Express Permit Program can be complex, but Honey Block Studio is here to simplify the process for you. We assist homeowners, contractors, and businesses in obtaining fast-track permits for small-scale projects that don’t require full architectural plan reviews.

With our expertise, we can help you quickly secure permits for:

• Replacing or repairing windows, doors, roofs, or siding

• Interior renovations like drywall, flooring, and non-structural updates

• Electrical and plumbing upgrades in existing buildings

• Residential solar panel installations

• Fencing, decks, and garages

• Minor commercial improvements that meet express permit criteria

• Change of contractor or owner on an existing permit

We handle the application, ensure compliance with city requirements, and track approval status—so you can focus on your project while we streamline the permit process.

The Chicago Department of Buildings (DOB) Sign Permit is required for permanent and illuminated business signage. We assist in obtaining the necessary approvals to ensure your signage meets city regulations, zoning requirements, and safety codes, allowing you to display your business identity without hassle.

A DOB Building Permit is essential for new construction, renovations, and structural modifications. We specialize in permit expediting exclusively for licensed architects, ensuring their plans and documentation are submitted efficiently and in compliance with Chicago’s building codes and zoning laws. Our expertise helps architects navigate the approval process smoothly, reducing delays and keeping projects on track.
