LOCAL CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Permitting and Jurisdiction in District Heights
District Heights, incorporated in 1936, issues its own building permits through the City of District Heights rather than routing through Prince George's County — confirmed early in planning since it changes which permitting authority a project goes through.
The city's Cape Cod-style single-family housing stock, much of it built in the 1940s, means residential remodeling, additions and roofing make up nearly all of the work here, with little commercial scope.

WHY MOLE
Design and construction move through one coordinated process, from initial scope through the final walkthrough.
Residential and commercial capability sits within the same company, so property type doesn't limit which services are available.
Project scope is defined and reviewed before work begins, so decisions aren't made after construction is already underway.
Remodeling and roofing can be coordinated under one contractor when a project's scope calls for both.
The same process applies across Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland, regardless of jurisdiction.
