Most projects fail at the seams between disciplines.

Land gets bought before constraints are known. Structural comes in late. Permits stall on missing detail. Apice closes those seams — the same team carries evaluation, design, permit submittal and construction coordination, so Tuesday's work actually informs Friday's decision.

Approval friction usually starts with poor readiness, incomplete scope or preventable coordination gaps — not with the jurisdiction itself.
