About us

We’re forward-thinkers.

Construction has a lot of shifting parts. It’s not enough to just keep up with changes. You need someone who’s ahead of every last detail and always helping to find a better way. And that’s us. With decades of combined experience in construction consulting and permit expediting, we help projects get the greenlight to move forward. Without headaches and on schedule.

Manny Russell

Manny has over 20 years of experience in expediting, zoning & building code consulting. Since co-founding Green Light Expediting, he’s helped clients ranging from homeowners to publicly traded REIT’s obtain the necessary approvals for their respective projects. He believes clients shouldn’t just be kept in the loop on as their projects progress, but also educated on relevant code related issues that are important to their project. The approach has resulted in long-lasting and appreciative client relationships both big and small.

Chris Henry

Prior to co-founding Green Light Expediting in 2008, Chris served as Marketing Manager for the New York office of a nationwide permit expediting firm. Since Green Light opened its doors, Chris has managed the approval process for all types of projects including enlargements, renovations, demolitions, and new buildings. He has been proud to see Green Light Expediting grow each year while staying true to its core values of exceptional customer service and attention to detail.


“It has been a pleasure sending Green Light my design documents, sometimes at the last minute, sometimes requiring special handling, and always receiving the same prompt, professional, and courteous personal service from them. They understand that ‘expediting’ means taking care of things quickly and efficiently.”
