Testimonials What our clients are saying
Richard Weidhaus
Chief Building OfficialThe requirement that we asked of RSM was something like 20 permits per week, for six to eight weeks—they said no problem, and they did it. They’re closing in on 170 reviews they’ve done for us (in 2020). We asked them to do 20 per week—that’s a lot. I think their communication is probably their biggest asset, I was excited that their process was established, it worked well, and I never had to call on them and check on them—they provided us with an email every step of the way.

Chief Building Official / Manager of Building and PlanningRSM was a great help to us on a building plans review for a large building in Perth East during the Holliday season in December. RSM's attention to detail and consideration in their review of the documents was impressive. Both the applicant and staff were very pleased with RSM's services. RSM's review was a welcome relief for staff that were very busy during a very busy time of year!
