Permitting Services
Every Texas city runs permits differently. Some approve in three weeks, others take three months. Requirements vary—different setbacks, different review processes, different interpretations of the same state codes. We handle all of it. We submit your permit application, coordinate with plan reviewers, respond to their comments, and manage resubmittals until you get approval. You don’t need to take calls from building departments or figure out local procedures. We stay on top of the process, answer city questions within 24 hours, and keep things moving. Most jurisdictions approve within six to eight weeks, and we make sure delays don’t come from our side.
Stop Waiting Months for Permits
Prime locations don’t stay available forever. We’ve engineered hundreds of kiosk sites across Texas and know exactly what cities require. Most projects: permit-ready plans in one week, full approval in 6-8 weeks total.
How It Works
You’ve secured the location and know where you want the kiosk. Now you need engineering and permits.
You send us:
- Site address and location sketch
- Kiosk specifications from your manufacturer
- Property survey (if available)
- Target installation date
We deliver:
- PE-stamped construction drawings
- Building permit approval
- Plans showing utility connections
Simple process, clear timeline, and you can schedule installation.
Engineering Design
Most water kiosk installations follow a similar pattern: small footprint, simple utilities, straightforward construction. The challenge isn’t complexity—it’s getting the details right for your specific site and jurisdiction. We’ve designed hundreds of these projects across Texas, so we know what works and what doesn’t. Our engineering covers everything from structural foundations to utility connections, grading for proper drainage, and ADA compliance. Each plan set is stamped by a Texas-licensed PE and built specifically for the jurisdiction where you’re installing. We design to local codes, account for existing site conditions, and structure our drawings so contractors know exactly what to build and city reviewers can approve without endless revision rounds.
What We Design
Site Plan
Shows where your kiosk sits in the parking lot. Dimensions, setbacks, parking space adjustments, and access routes.
Utility Plan
The critical drawing—shows your contractor where to connect water, electrical service, and sewer (if needed). Clear routing from existing services to your kiosk location.
Grading & Drainage
Makes sure water flows away from your kiosk and meets local stormwater requirements.
Elevations & Details
Four-sided views showing appearance, materials, and colors—what the city needs for aesthetic approval.
All plans sealed by a Professional Engineer and ready for immediate permit submittal.

Typical Timeline
Week 1: Send us site information and kiosk specs
Weeks 1-2: Engineering complete, permit-ready plans delivered (usually 5-7 days)
Weeks 2-6: City reviews and processes permit (we manage this)
Week 6-8: Permit approved, installation scheduled
Total: 6-8 weeks (compared to 12-16 weeks with local engineers unfamiliar with kiosks)
Timeline varies by jurisdiction. Some cities approve faster, some slower. We respond to city comments immediately so you’re never waiting on us.
Stop Losing Prime Locations to Permitting Delays"
Every week your kiosk sits unpermitted is revenue walking out the door. We’ve engineered hundreds of kiosk locations and know exactly what cities want to see.
What You'll Pay

FAQ – Common Questions!
What do you need to start?
Site address, kiosk specs from manufacturer, rough location sketch, and target installation date. Survey helps but isn’t always required.
What if there’s no survey?
We check with the property owner first. If unavailable, we work from aerial imagery and site photos. Adds about a week.
Do you visit the site?
Usually not necessary. We work from surveys, aerials, utility records, and photos. Keeps costs down and timeline fast. Site visits only if needed.
Can you handle new Texas cities?
Yes. Every jurisdiction has different requirements. We learn local codes and processes—you don’t pay for our learning curve.
What if the city requires changes?
Standard process. We respond to comments, revise plans, and resubmit within 24 hours. Included in our service—no extra charges for revision cycles.
Do you handle water quality permits?
Not typically. Kiosks dispensing pre-treated bottled water don’t usually need public water system permits. If your setup is different, let us know and we can coordinate.
