Celebrating 5 years of supporting great structures and the people who build them!

Lori Dunham is the CEO and Founder of SiteStart Pros Inc. Her mission is to advocate for Builders, General Contractors, Commercial Business Owners, Real Estate Investors, Flippers, Retail Tenants, Commercial Brokers, and many others by helping elevate their projects into full acceptance and alignment with municipal building codes. This includes new design‑build projects, renovations and additions, commercial build‑outs, and retrofits required to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for new tenants. If clearing a Code Violation is a concern, the team can help bring your property back into good standing with the City by resolving the violation alongside you.

Lori and her team support customers from Concept to Concrete, covering all aspects of pre‑construction, inspection coordination, and on‑jobsite support. Whether it’s a residential new home build, renovation, commercial land development, tenant build‑out, or obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy to open a new retail store, restaurant, medical office, or commercial location — SiteStart Pros provides full guidance every step of the way.

In many cases, the hardest part of any project is simply getting the paperwork right. The permitting process can be overwhelming and frustrating. When General Contractors are already pulled in a thousand directions during the day and then must process paperwork after long hours on the jobsite, the entire family sacrifices quality time. Without support, many small to mid‑size General Contractor operations experience significant stress, and projects often miss deadlines — creating a ripple effect across crews and customer expectations. Business owners may excel at running their operations but often lack clarity on the commercial build‑out process or the steps required to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from their city.

It is Lori’s passion to advocate for small contractor operations and mid‑size company owners, helping them live their dreams, grow their businesses, and build a legacy they can be proud of.

SiteStart Pros Inc. is the one‑stop shop for Pre‑Construction and Development Management Services for General Contractors and Business Owners. With a team of experts ready to provide all services required to obtain a Building Permit — including quality field services, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Foundation Engineering, and MEP Engineering for all types of projects — we take the burden of paperwork and coordination with City personnel off your shoulders. Once the permit is issued, our team supports inspection coordination, logistics, on‑jobsite management, and any additional assistance needed throughout the project.

With SiteStart Pros in your corner, General Contractors, Business Owners, and customers can focus on what they do best — build things and sell things.
