Understanding local building codes and regulations is the first challenge in any construction or renovation project. Professionals in this field are well-versed in these codes and regulations. They can provide invaluable assistance in determining the specific permits required for a range of projects, whether it involves a new addition, a remodel, or the installation of skylights.
Application Preparation
Filling out permit applications can take time and effort. Your General Contractor will also gather and prepare all necessary documents, ensuring that every detail is correct. This will save you time and reduce the risk of having your application rejected due to missing information.
