Courthouse
Courthouse is home to Arlington County's government and judicial complex, surrounded by a mix of established and newer mid-rise residential buildings along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor.

LOCAL CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Permitting and Jurisdiction in Courthouse
Being the seat of Arlington's county government doesn't change the permitting process for a private construction project — building permits, plan review and inspections still run through Arlington County's standard Department of Community Planning, Housing and Development process.
Courthouse mixes older garden-style apartment buildings with newer mid-rise and high-rise residential, so a project's scope depends heavily on the specific building's age and construction type.

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.
