Permitting and Code Compliance

What Permitting and Compliance Covers

Permitting and code compliance govern how construction work is reviewed, approved, and inspected before, during, and after construction. These requirements ensure that structural changes, system modifications, and renovations are performed safely and in accordance with applicable building codes and approved plans.

Role of Permits and Inspections

Building permits define the scope of approved work and establish required inspections at specific stages of construction. Inspections verify that work complies with permitted documents, applicable codes, and safety standards before it is concealed or finalized.

General Contractor Responsibility

A licensed general contractor is responsible for managing permitting and compliance across the entire project. This includes coordinating permits, licensed trades, inspections, corrections, and approvals to ensure construction work proceeds legally, efficiently, and without unnecessary delays.
