Home BuildersOne of the first steps any homeowner should take before starting a renovation project is to contact the local building authority to inquire as to what codes exist. And also what permits, if any, will be required. You may be required to fill out a form that includes a detailed description of the project, the address and legal description of the property, as well as estimated project costs. The local building authority may require 2 to 4 sets of plans or drawings complete with floor and elevation plans, to be evaluated and approved. Once the plans have been thoroughly checked over and approved, they will be stamped. Or, a written approval notice will be mailed to the project owner. Normally, one set of approved plans will be kept by the local building authority, and one set mailed back to the applicant for their own records. Another set will be provided; to be displayed at the project site until the project has been completed.
