Oak Brook’s online permit process starts with a checklist
The Village of Oak Brook handles new permit applications and inspection requests online. Before starting an application, the village asks applicants to review its residential permit requirement listing, because every required document must be uploaded digitally at the time of submittal and an application cannot be submitted without them. The village also asks applicants to avoid creating duplicate records and to save a draft if they are not ready to submit.
The residential listing organizes documents by project type. For a residential alteration it names a contract or scope of work, architectural plans, and a plat of survey, and it adds engineering plans, electrical or plumbing licenses, a plumbing letter of intent, or energy compliance documentation when they apply. Oak Brook’s building code regulations apply to buildings that are altered, converted, remodeled, or structurally repaired, and they adopt the 2021 International Residential Code.
Why the scope document matters
A contract or scope of work is more than a price. It tells a reviewer what is being removed, what is new, and which trades are involved. Putting that detail together before applying makes it easier to upload a complete package the first time instead of leaving an application stuck in draft.
How ADS can help
ADS offers kitchen, bathroom, basement, living-room, hallway, and home-addition remodeling in Oak Brook. We start with a free visit to the home, measure the rooms, and discuss your priorities. The written estimate that follows lists demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, and finish work separately, which gives you a clear scope to review before anything is filed with the village.
Scheduling should respect local limits too. In residential areas, Oak Brook allows permitted work between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, and it prohibits that work on Sunday.
- Locate your plat of survey, which the village listing includes for a residential alteration.
- Check whether a homeowners association must approve the work.
- Collect product sheets for fixtures and appliances you have chosen.
Start with the Village of Oak Brook building permits page and confirm the current requirement listing with Development Services before work begins.

Five questions every homeowner asks first.
Plain answers — the kind we'd give a neighbor over coffee, not the ones written for a brochure.
Have a different question? Ask during your free estimate →-
How much does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel cost?
Bathroom remodels in our area typically run $18,000–$45,000. Mid-range kitchens are usually $35,000–$80,000 — full custom kitchens can reach $120,000+. We give you a detailed estimate in writing after the in-home visit, so you see the numbers line by line before signing anything.
-
How long will my project take?
A bathroom is usually 3–5 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A standard kitchen runs 6–8 weeks. Basement finishes are 5–8 weeks. We give you a written schedule before we start — and because we use our own in-house crew, we don't lose days waiting on a subcontractor to show up.
-
Do you handle the permits and inspections?
Yes — every time. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and meet with the inspectors. You don't deal with the village. We handle Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and the rest of our service area.
-
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Almost always, yes. We seal off the work zone with plastic, set up a temporary kitchen if we're remodeling yours, vacuum daily, and do a deep clean at the end. Most clients stay in the home for the full project — we plan the sequence around your daily life.
-
How do payments work?
A small deposit at signing, then progress payments tied to milestones (rough-in complete, drywall complete, final walkthrough). You never pre-pay for work that hasn't started. Final payment is only released after you sign off on the final walkthrough — not before.
