Optimised approvals management

Many projects and investment propositions are subject to approval and therefore very time consuming. Simply call on the professionals from UMCO and save your valuable time. We know the paths through the jungle of regulations and the appropriate fields of law.

We achieve an effective cooperation between planners, authors of expertises, contact persons in the appropriate public authorities and yourself as the applicant during the approval procedure.

  • Determination of the legal requirements
  • Coordination of the approval process
  • Intermediary between applicant, planners and authorities
  • Compiling the application documents
  • Holding hearings 
  • Advice on the implementation of the notification of approval
  • Scrutiny and monitoring of auxiliary conditions
