Steps

  1. Confirm tower crane erection in Seattle requires SDCI building permit approval covering the crane's structural attachment/foundation design.
  2. Separately confirm street-use permit approval is needed if any part of the erection (crane footprint, boom swing, material staging) affects the public right-of-way — this is the SDOT side of the process described in the Heavy Crane permit route.
  3. Check whether a noise variance is required for the erection schedule, since tower crane erection frequently runs outside standard daytime construction-noise hours.
  4. Assemble site logistics documentation showing crane placement, swing radius, and adjacent property/right-of-way impacts as backup for the permit package.
  5. Confirm final sign-off sequencing — Seattle typically expects street-use and noise-variance approvals in hand before the building-permit-side crane erection inspection is scheduled.
