Land Use Entitlement Services

The foundation of our firm

What bonds these projects together despite their many differences, origins, and goals: land use entitlement.

From the QES side of things, land use entitlement is the glue that holds these disparate projects together — the umbrella term under which the bulk of our work is situated.

So when we say QES Inc. is a land use entitlement company, it means so much more than that. It means we perform multi-tasks for multitudes: deliverables, red-tape cutting, efficiency-creation.

We’ve recently completed:

  • Density bonus work and affordable housing incentives for the East L.A. Community Corporation.
  • Zone changes, plan compliance, and a waiver of development standards for AMCAL Multi-Housing.
  • A subdivision for condominium purposes and a site plan review for the M Lofts, a 49-unit multifamily condominium complex designed by PK Architecture.

QES Inc.: Entitlements Done Right — and Right On Time

The land-use landscape is ever-changing. QES knows and understands this better than firms many times our size. We are a lean and efficient organization. We navigate the greater Los Angeles land-use environment with a laser focus on ever-changing and ever-evolving situations and regulations.

As such, we remain eagle-eyed from 30,000 feet and microscopic on a more granular, between-the-lines level. We approach each and every project armed with a wealth of institutional knowledge and expertise borne from nearly 30 years of experience in Southern California. This region is constantly changing, morphing, and reshaping itself to better serve the needs of the people who live and work here.

QES Inc. remains committed to our work, our partners, and our community.

We will manage your project by coordinating and working with local governments, community groups, and others to efficiently maneuver entitlement applications from start to finish.

Land Use Entitlement Details

Land use entitlement includes project coordination and processing, governmental relations and community engagement, and due diligence oversight. Every project is different — each with its own timetables, rhythms, and requirements.

But to each and every job, QES stays clear-eyed and clear-focused on the end goal: Getting the job done and assisting our clients by keeping their projects on track, on time, and on budget.
