A local building permit is generally required to erect a permanent structure of any kind but permitting requirements vary from location to location. In most circumstances an application for a building permit may only be submitted by a locally registered architect of record.

An application for a building permit consists of a several plans and drawings, some related to the building location and others to the building itself. We can assist with permitting by providing architectural plans and drawings of the building we supply together with structural engineering reports and code compliance information. This information can be used by a local architect to produce full permitting applications.
