Public-record contractor profile
Legal record: DOCHNAHL CONSTRUCTION INC
Why this profile appears
Dochnahl Construction Inc. is included because 2 selected Seattle construction permits explicitly describe retaining-wall, rockery, slope, drainage, foundation, or closely related site work. The records span Aug 2, 2024 through Feb 3, 2025 and place the documented work in Leschi and Ravenna.
The most recent selected record is permit 6967982-CN, issued Feb 3, 2025 in Leschi. Its public scope says: “Construct retaining walls and pin pile foundation repair to existing one-family dwelling per plan”
Across the current exact SDCI dataset responses and manually checked Seattle Services Portal records, 2 of 2 selected records have a matching legal name, listed L&I principal, or Portal contractor license. The status for every project is shown below.
Permit scope, dates, status, and cost come from the exact official rows. A permit without a reproducible contractor identity—through the published name or a separately checked Portal license—should be treated as a research lead, not proof that DOCHNAHL CONSTRUCTION INC performed that work. The profile also does not establish current availability, design responsibility, workmanship, customer satisfaction, or suitability for another property.
Quick read
