EcoCraft is proud to be a participating contractor in Portland’s Field Issuance Remodel (FIR) Program since November 2019. Achieving and maintaining FIR status is a significant accomplishment, and EcoCraft has worked diligently to earn this recognition. This unique program streamlines the permitting and inspection process for home remodels, making your experience smoother and more efficient from the first consultation to the final inspection.
What Is the FIR Program?
The Field Issuance Remodel (FIR) Program is a service provided by the City of Portland that facilitates plan reviews and inspections through direct, onsite consultations with a dedicated Senior Inspector. This approach offers a single point of contact throughout the project, ensuring a cohesive process that helps your remodel move forward seamlessly.
