We’re all familiar with building permits, right? They’re the official documents issued by the local government that allows your construction project to move forward. Today’s infographic from BuildFax breaks down the building permit to help us understand exactly what it is and why it is often needed. Remember to always check with local authorities before starting any remodeling or construction project to ensure that proper permitting laws are being followed.
“Building permits are documents that prove construction projects, such as kitchen renovations or a home remodel, have been done in compliance with local health and safety standards. These standards (aka building codes) define the requirements for structural integrity, installation of electrical, heating, and plumbing systems, and emergency exits.”
