What McCormick Compliance Consulting does

McCormick Compliance Consulting is a US professional services firm specializing in permit expediting and code compliance consulting for the construction industry. Founded in 2003 by Casey McCormick, the company serves large developers, architects, engineers, and contractors on complex construction projects that require coordination across federal, state, and city regulatory agencies. Its core offering combines permit expediting services (building permits, traffic approvals, utility coordination, FAA and Health Department approvals, zoning and entitlements, business licensing, and inspections/certificates of occupancy) with code compliance advisory spanning Title 24/CalGreen, CalOSHA, and local building codes. The firm also runs adjacent modules for commercial remodeling/tenant improvement permitting, self-certification programs, and noise variance/off-hours approvals, positioning itself as an extension of the client's staff.

The business operates through direct enterprise sales to construction-industry clients, with no disclosed digital marketing, technology platform, or SaaS component. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, and no technology stack, API, integrations, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Marketing is limited to a single Wix-hosted website (mccormickpermits.com); the company has no app, no social media presence, and no patents or trademarks. Revenue is delivered via fee-for-service engagements managed by licensed consultants rather than via licensed software or platform subscriptions.

McCormick Compliance Consulting is privately held and founder-controlled. Leadership comprises CEO Casey McCormick (20+ years permit expediting experience), COO John McCormick (19 years operations/consulting, joined 2018), and Director Jessica Marshall (6 years permitting, joined 2017). The firm operates from six US offices — Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Seattle, and Miami — covering the largest US construction markets. There is no evidence of external institutional investment, private equity backing, parent company ownership, funding rounds, acquisitions, or public-market activity.

Direct peers

• WDP & Associates Consulting Engineers: Building code and accessibility consulting firm providing code analysis, plan review, and permit support services to architects, developers, and contractors — directly comparable niche to MCC's code compliance work.
• Quality Built: Construction quality assurance and code compliance firm serving developers and contractors with third-party plan review, inspections, and permit-related services — a close analog to MCC's compliance-driven service model.
• Permit Expediters, Inc. Direct competitor in permit expediting services for commercial construction projects. Comparable in that it provides multi-agency permit coordination to developers, architects, and contractors in major US markets, much like McCormick.
• Code Consultants, Inc. (CCI): Specialist building code consulting firm offering plan review, code analysis, and permit support services to architects, developers, and contractors — directly overlapping with MCC's code compliance and permit expediting core.
• Partner Engineering and Science (Partner ESI): Building and property consulting firm offering code consulting, plan review, permit expediting, and construction risk services. Comparable customer base of developers, owners, and A&E firms across US metros.

Broad incumbents

• Jensen Hughes: Global fire protection, security, and building code consulting firm. Much larger and broader than MCC, but offers overlapping building code consulting and code compliance advisory services to similar enterprise customers.
• Stantec: International engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting firm with permitting and regulatory compliance services for commercial and infrastructure development. Comparable customer base of large developers, but much broader and more diversified than MCC.
• TRC Companies: Large environmental, infrastructure, and regulatory compliance consulting firm. Overlaps with MCC on regulatory approvals, environmental permitting, and multi-agency coordination, but operates at vastly broader scale across multiple industries.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting giant offering permitting, environmental compliance, and regulatory advisory services to large developers and public agencies. Overlaps at the high end of MCC's enterprise mega-project work but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) company with a building and infrastructure practice that includes code compliance, plan review, and permit-related services. Same enterprise client base but operates as a global diversified incumbent.
