About Buckley Permit Solutions
Permit Coordination with a Practical, Organized Approach
Permitting can be one of the more complicated parts of a project. There are applications to prepare, plans and documents to organize, corrections to track, and questions to answer along the way.
Buckley Permit Solutions was created to help make that process more manageable.
Founded by Alison Buckley, Buckley Permit Solutions provides permit coordination and administrative support for property owners, homeowners, contractors, architects, and other project professionals throughout San Diego County.
With a background in planning, permit processing, and project coordination, Alison brings a practical understanding of how project information comes together and what it takes to keep the permitting process organized.
Experience You Can Put to Work
Alison's career has included experience in both planning and private-sector permit processing.
Earlier in her career, she worked as a permit processor and project manager, managing permit projects for developers, architects, and engineers throughout San Diego County. Her responsibilities included coordinating permit submittals, communicating with plan checkers, researching building department requirements, gathering correction responses, maintaining project documentation, and keeping clients informed about project status.
She also worked in municipal planning, where she reviewed technical drawings, specifications, and project information and helped coordinate planning and building requirements.
That experience gave her an appreciation for something that remains important today:
Good organization and clear communication can make a complicated process much easier to manage.
Comfortable with Plans, Documents & Project Details
Permit coordination often means working with a lot of information at once.
Alison is comfortable working with plans, drawings, specifications, reports, correspondence, and application materials. She is also experienced with Bluebeam and other digital tools used to review, organize, and manage project information.
Her experience working with architects, engineers, contractors, and other project professionals means she understands that everyone involved in a project may be focused on a different piece of the process.
Buckley Permit Solutions helps bring those pieces together from a permit coordination and administrative perspective.
Buckley Permit Solutions provides professional permit coordination and processing services throughout San Diego County. Our focus is on accuracy, organization, efficiency, and clear communication.
Services are available for residential and commercial projects, including ADUs, solar installations, tenant improvements, and other projects requiring permit processing and coordination.
Permit Coordination Services
Before getting too far into a project, it can be helpful to understand what permits and requirements may apply.
We can research the applicable jurisdictional and zoning requirements, identify potential permitting pathways, and help uncover potential issues that may need to be addressed before submittal.
Permit Research & Feasibility
Permit applications involve more than simply filling out a form.
We can help prepare and review application materials for completeness and accuracy and organize the information needed for submission based on the applicable agency requirements.
Permit Application Preparation
Many jurisdictions now rely on online permitting systems, and each platform can have its own requirements.
We can submit and track permit applications through systems such as Accela, ProjectDox, and agency-specific portals, while keeping track of application status and outstanding items.
Digital Submission & Tracking
Plan Check Correction Coordination & Resubmittals
Plan review can generate comments, corrections, and requests for additional information.
We can help track plan check comments, coordinate correction responses with the project team, organize resubmittal materials, and monitor the application as it moves through the review process.
Some permits or project-related needs may require in-person processing.
When appropriate, Buckley Permit Solutions can provide over-the-counter representation at local jurisdictions to help address permit processing needs in person.
Over-the-Counter Representation
We also provide permit processing and coordination support for projects such as:
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Solar photovoltaic systems
Cellular antennas
Commercial tenant improvements
Other residential and commercial permit projects

Specialty Permit Processing
Personal Attention
Buckley Permit Solutions is intentionally a small business. When you work with us, you work directly with Alison rather than being passed from department to department.
Organized & Detail-Oriented
Permit applications involve a lot of moving pieces. We help keep documents, comments, submissions, correspondence, and outstanding items organized so nothing gets overlooked.
Clear Communication
We’ll keep you informed about what has been submitted, what is still needed, what needs attention, and what comes next.
Digital & Efficient
Today's permitting process is highly digital. We’re comfortable working with electronic plans, document management systems, online permit portals, digital markups, and tools such as Bluebeam to help keep projects organized and moving efficiently.
Proactive Follow-Through
Permitting often requires more than submitting an application and waiting. We keep track of comments, requests, deadlines, and outstanding items and follow up as needed to help keep the process moving.
