1. Know Your Requirements

Before you start your project, it’s crucial to research the local building codes and zoning laws in your area. Different locations may have different rules for what’s allowed, and understanding these beforehand can save you time and frustration.


2. Prepare Your Plans

Clear and complete building plans are essential for obtaining your permits. Make sure your plans are detailed, including measurements, design elements, and materials. Incomplete or unclear plans are one of the most common causes of permit delays.


3. Consult With Experts

If you’re unsure about any part of the permit process, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional advice. Our team at Farrow Built is always here to help guide you through the process and ensure everything is for a smooth approval.


4. Submit Early

To avoid unnecessary delays, it’s best to submit your permit application well in advance of your project’s start date. Keep in mind that permits can take time to process, so it’s always smart to plan and give yourself extra time for potential back-and-forth with local authorities.


In Conclusion

While permits may seem like a daunting part of your building project, following these simple steps can help you stay on track and move forward quickly. With the right preparation and support, you’ll be one step closer to your dream building!
