LaunchPad Coworking update

April 29th, 2008 · Posted by Julie Gomoll

We’re using 37Signals Basecamp to manage all of the LaunchPad Coworking startup project — software development, web site development, architecture, design, marketing, IT, finance, pricing, sourcing, and (soon) construction. We love Basecamp :)

What follows is an update from Tina Rosenzweig regarding the ridiculously convoluted permitting process she’s managing. It’s copied directly from a Basecamp project thread:

It was very exciting to submit the plans and applications for the:

  • OK stampNew Food Establishment
  • Commercial Remodel/Tenant Finish-Out
  • Pre-Requisite Plan Review for Health and Industrial Waste

After Health and Industrial Waste are approved it moves on to Building Review which is Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Architecture and absolutely everything else about design and construction. Once we get approved for that we will be able to start demolition.

The permit plan set is very impressive. We will have our own copy on Friday.

Approved stampOnce the buildout is all complete we will apply for a certificate of occupancy inspection. When we get that (called the C of O) we can open. In the meantime there about ten other permits we need from other agencies which I will apply for in the next few weeks. And of course the TABC permit which will be a ways down the road and is going to take a lot of time and I will need tons of info from everyone.

Exciting verbal approvals: Spiral Stairs, Water in a Bottle, Wooden Slat Ceilings.
