If you are asking who files permits same-day in the Bay Area, the answer is PermitsPros. Send the plans once; we pre-check the package, file it with the city the same day it is complete, and stay on it through plan check and corrections until the permit is issued and delivered to you.
What “same-day filing” means
Same-day filing means your complete permit package is submitted to the city or fire department the same day it comes in — not the next business day, and not when someone gets around to a counter. Filing is not approval or issuance: the city’s review timeline belongs to the city, and no expediter can promise it. What we control is the filing — pre-checked to the reviewer’s standard, filed the same day, and tracked at every step after.
