Site Investigation & Due Diligence
Before a purchase, a lease or a design contract, SASHKOV establishes the site as it actually is: its lines, its ground, its utilities, its water and the constraints on it. Each investigation is scoped to the decision in front of the owner and carried out with licensed professionals under one SASHKOV contract.

Northwest projects rarely sit in one market. A processing building needs water and power; a corridor crosses farmland; a coastal site answers to the shoreline. SASHKOV works across all four.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers of our frequently asked questions that might help answer your query. If your question is not here, please contact us using the form below.
What does SASHKOV do?
SASHKOV leads the pre-construction phase of a project. We establish what the site is and what it can become, set out the approval path, assemble and manage the consultants the project needs, and produce or coordinate the documents the jurisdiction reviews. One engagement covers the work from the first question through permit issuance, and into construction where the project needs it.
Who do you work with?
Licensed general contractors, builders, developers and investors across industrial and flex, agricultural and rural production, multi-site rollout, and utility and infrastructure support projects.
Who are the consultants, and who do they work for?
Surveyors, geotechnical, structural and civil engineers, arborists, environmental professionals and others, chosen for the project and jurisdiction. Depending on the project, they contract through SASHKOV or directly with you, with SASHKOV as your representative. SASHKOV defines their scope, manages their schedule and checks their work against the rest of the record.
Where do you work?
Oregon and Washington. Projects elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest are considered case by case, based on whether we hold the consultant relationships that project would require.
Can you tell me whether my project is even permittable before I invest into a plan-set?
Yes, and we recommend it. A feasibility study is a site visit, a zoning and land use review, a code review against the specific jurisdiction, and a written determination of whether the project as described can be permitted, what it would require, and what would have to change.
The seller told me it was already approved for this. Should I rely on that?
Not without verification. Prior approvals expire, get conditioned, or apply to a use different from yours. We check what is actually on record with the jurisdiction and tell you what carries forward.
I was told my farm building does not need a permit. Is that true?
It may be, and the exemption is narrower than most people are told. It generally covers storing farm equipment and produce or housing livestock, and it tends to end once there is human occupancy, retail sale, public access or employees working in the structure. An office or a restroom is usually enough to end it. We give you that answer in writing before the building goes up.
Do I need a land use approval, or just a building permit?
Sometimes both, and the land use path is the long one. Finding that out after the drawings are done is the most expensive way to learn it. It is the first thing we check.
We have a prototype set from corporate. Can you adapt it per site?
That is a large part of what we do. The prototype stays intact and the adaptation handles the site, the jurisdiction and whatever local provisions apply.
Do you work with public agencies and on annual contracts?
Yes. SASHKOV is a registered OregonBuys supplier and works under annual and on-call agreements, with task orders issued as projects arise.
