Who is Philly Kelsey & Co.?
We are Philadelphia local, licensed expediters and professionals, including our entire network of clients that we refer projects to, that is, if they are in line with how we do business and are known to get the job done – quickly.
What is a Licensed Expediter and what do they do?
Licensed Expediting is a great way to save time, money, and take some stress off your plate, by delegating the paperwork portion of your work to us! You sign a contract that states you’re allowing us to file and speak on your behalf about your project, license status, & subcontractors to the City. We manage the permits of your project until the paperwork is complete and your permit/ certificate/ license is issued. As a courtesy, we retain all paperwork and approved permits for your retrieval at any time. We have a duty to complete the project in the most efficient way we know of based on the resources we have available at the time of your project.
What type of projects can we hire Philly Kelsey & Co for?
We do not discriminate which projects we file as long as they fall into one of these categories: Permits, Certifications, Licenses, Tax Compliance, Right-of-Way Encroachments, Utility Connections (including tapping to the water main), and Out-of-State Insurance for Licenses; and are compliant according to state and city regulation. Our most unique and specialized service is facilitating the donation of reusable building materials during the Demolition Phase. Demolition is a particular area of interest as our city moves to regulate sustainable measures for waste disposal and divert resources that benefit the environment and community – backed by substantial IRS incentives for the property owner.
What is eCLIPSE and why do I need to submit my application through it?
eCLIPSE stands for Electronic Commercial Licensing & Inspections Software Enterprise used by the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Licenses & Inspections. While this was merely an option of convenience before the City shut down due to COVID-19, it is now the only solution to obtain the proper legal requirements for your residential, commercial and retail projects. Some applications are more efficient when filed in person at the Municipal Services Building, so upon reopening, we will certainly make the best judgment according to what you need done: whether we file in-person or digitally using eCLIPSE.
I created my eCLIPSE account, now what?
Great! Now, we need to associate your account to projects you’re currently working on and other professionals you’ve engaged to do the work.
