On Tuesday morning, 20 June 2023, Gail Bouw welcomed Kim Dziegiel as our Guest Speaker. At our hybrid (ie live attendance at R83 with zoom remote attendance) session, she spoke to us about assisting with the existing municipal permitting process and the role her shop (The Permit Shoppe) can play in such concerns.In consideration of Kim's corporate experience as an employee on the Norfolk County staff as well as her skill at navigating the municipal permitting processes as a private consultant, we were treated to a detailed look into a very bureaucratic and difficult situation. The briefing proved to be most informative and was followed by many questions.
More information about Kim may be found by going to the "Read more ...' tab.
On behalf of the Club, President John concluded with an expression of appreciation to Kim for a well-prepared presentation - too bad that such a need exists but so great that such consultative services are present to guide the way.
By way of introduction, Kim offers this brief glimpse into her life;
My name is Kim Dziegiel, and I'm the face behind The Permit Shoppe!. I thought you might want to know a little about me, and what business I have running a building permit consulting company.
With 12 years of construction experience, (and 8 of those years were spent working for a Municipality in the Building Department) I know all the ins and outs of building projects. I started as a Permit Coordinator reviewing and accepting permit applications, working my way through the zoning department and up to a Building Inspector.
If you’re looking for help navigating the process, I am here to help!
My goal is to work with clients to make the municipal permitting process as quick and painless as possible while providing you with the most accurate information to be able to build what you want to build using qualified professionals.
When I'm not busy helping folks get their permit documents ready, I love to spend time with my partner, our two dogs, and work on our own construction projects around the house.
