As a community-focused professional partnership, our primary goal is to help develop modern housing options through innovative solutions. One such emerging option is modular housing, which offers efficient and cost-effective construction. Over the past two years, Lakeside Consultants have extensively studied this method and its alignment with current building codes.

Builders working with communities unfamiliar with modular construction may encounter numerous challenges and roadblocks, including inspector exposure and adherence to existing building or zoning codes that may lack provisions for this construction method. However, our inspectors are well-trained and fully equipped to handle any modular regulatory inspection requirements.

To ensure accessibility and convenience, our solutions are available both on-site and virtually across the country. With the help of our new virtual inspection application and website Simplespect ™, modular construction projects can be efficiently inspected today.

Whether in the planning, design, or submittal stage; your project’s timeline depends on the most complete permit submission-ready material. Our code professionals have worked for local government previously, so we can ensure your projects are designed and planned to current building and zoning standards set forth by your respective government entity, for fast and prompt permit approval. Lakeside can help any client determine the feasibility of their project, from a fence to a high-rise building, assisting with any needed variance guidance.

Our model is client focused, meaning our obligation is to do what’s best for the bottom line and look for modern ways to help you save and earn more capital, while also helping you stand out to owners, investors, and guests by showing you have their best interests as top priority.  Also, this ensures properties meet expected industry safety standards.

Lakeside Consultants is here to provide property managers, property management companies, building owners, and investors with our proprietary annual safety and property evaluation.

Your property or units will be evaluated yearly to ensure they meet modern building code and safety standards. In turn the report can be used to potentially lower insurance, and other operating costs by hundreds or thousands of dollars overall.  Included, we will relay potential repairs or replacements to consider for the future, giving you the ability to plan for needed property improvements.

Additionally, Contract Labor in some scenarios can be labeled as a Business Expense.

Lakeside offers an easy-to-use virtual inspection program. Safe, efficient, and reliable, this is a great tool for contractors or developers to get projects completed expeditiously; especially in the busy summer months.

Our team is here to help you navigate the questions and challenges that come with today’s wide variety of entitlements and development proposals. Your vision is important to us, and we are here to help. Our team is eager to map out the needs of your business or dream and provide the necessary tools to achieve a successful future. With a decade of experience, our clients have turned to us for owner representation and advocacy, project programming, feasibility studies, site selection, entitlement, document curation and master planning.

Do you or your team desire greater knowledge and understanding of the development review process, application review, community engagement, land development process, or any other aspect of community development? Are you a manager who doesn’t have the bandwidth to provide training to your planning staff or elected officials? We can help! Our efforts are all customized to fit your needs. We have found when training using your data, your zoning codes, your development review processes, and even applications, is the best way to train your team. We’d love the opportunity to learn about your needs and see if we’d be able to help!

Our programs can be customized to any topics or areas of preference. We also have already developed courses that can be organized and deployed quickly with a minimum of time spent. Our courses offer the chance to earn desired or required nationally accredited continuing education credits in a fun, group environment. Condensed into 3 hours, we have streamlined the typical standard half or full day process while emphasizing education, knowledge and communication. Courses are typically formatted for 25, 50, or 75 attendees.
