Faster Permit Approvals
Our engineers know exactly what each Western US jurisdiction requires. Drawings are prepared correctly the first time with all required details, calculations, and documentation - minimizing permit review cycles.
Design & Engineering
Expert design and permitting for faster project approvals. CAD drawings, site planning, compliance consulting, and permitting assistance from engineers with 25+ years of regulatory expertise.
Why Design and Permitting Expertise Matters
Permit Rejections Delay Your Revenue Timeline
Every week your project waits for permit approval is a week without revenue. Design mistakes mean rejected permits, costly rework, and months of delays. You need drawings and specifications that pass inspection the first time, not multiple resubmissions that push back your opening date.
Regulatory Requirements Are Complex and Unforgiving
EPA fuel system regulations, state environmental codes, local fire marshal requirements, building codes, electrical standards - compliance is mandatory but confusing. One overlooked requirement can halt your entire project or trigger expensive mid-construction changes that blow your budget.
Generic Contractors Don't Understand Fuel and Car Wash Regulations
General contractors and architects know buildings, but fuel dispensing systems and car wash facilities have specialized regulatory requirements. You need engineers who've designed hundreds of fuel systems and car washes - experts who know exactly what every jurisdiction requires.
Design Engineering That Accelerates Project Approvals
Nwestco's design and engineering team brings 25+ years of regulatory expertise to fuel system and car wash projects across the Western United States. We create compliant designs, handle permitting coordination, and guide you through approval processes in six Western states.
