Informational Requirements
We can provide examples of the things that should be known, and we can identify the requirements for planning correctly according to the building codes and local restriction guidelines.
Why Approvals Get Delayed…?
The absence of critical information for the proper planning of the construction intentions is the number one reason for delay in gaining approval.
Being officially authorized to move forward with construction by officials requires exhibiting familiarity with the expectations.
Providing plans and specifications that outline these “check list” clarifications in a fully accountable and easily digestible manner makes the process run much smoother.
