l'elaboration du permis de construire
This is a bullet point in a list of services offered by a building company. Would "elaboration" just mean "application" here? i.e. "applications for planning permission"?
I presume that here the builders are drawing up the documents necessary for the application, so they're just saying they can help with the bureaucratic side of things as well as the building.

French term (edited):
elaboration
planning permission procedures
Seems to me it's quite vague in the French, so why not keep it vague in English?
