A pre-flight across every review your project will face in Charleston County. Five layers. Every flag traced to its source. Sixty seconds.
Every decision indexed within 24 hrs.
The pre-flight reads from this same source.
Charleston's review process isn't broken. It's careful — the reason the city still looks the way it does. What's missing is an instrument the room can share.
GeorgeSt reads the meeting minutes, the ordinance, the staff interpretations, and the precedent from every board that will touch your project. Before anyone walks into 2 George Street, everyone already knows where they stand.
Precedent for materials, massing, and treatment — scoped to your category before the first submittal.
Entitlement risk, timeline, and fee exposure — visible in hours, not billable weeks.
Permit path, inspection sequence, and pre-flight flags before the crew is on the calendar.
A plain-English read of what's possible on your parcel. No waiting for a returned call.
Cited ordinance language, board decisions, and historic-tax-credit posture in one instrument.
Submittals arrive better-formed. Less staff time spent on pre-flightable errors.
National permit platforms read the code book. GeorgeSt reads the meeting minutes — every BAR session, every DRB ruling, every staff interpretation across Charleston County's twelve jurisdictions. Hover any layer to see a real source.
BAR, DRB, and Harleston Village precedent — calibrated to your category and review phase.
Use, height, setback, FAR, and overlay-district checks against the ordinance section actually controlling your parcel.
IBC and IRC 2021 as adopted by South Carolina, with amendments from the city you're building in.
FEMA flood maps, peninsula tidal modeling, and SCDES BCM (formerly DHEC OCRM) critical-line checks for sites on or near the water.
Federal HTC and SC State HTC eligibility against the Secretary of Interior Standards.
Every pre-flight returns a letter grade and a 0–100 score — a plain-English read on your project's probability of approval, calibrated against real Charleston County board precedent.
The score weights every finding across all five review layers. Critical issues count more than cautions. Opportunities (like Federal HTC eligibility) surface as upside. You see exactly where the friction is before it becomes a deferral at the hearing.
