Here are our top tips for a smooth building permit experience:


  • Go in with a positive attitude

    • Expect things to go well. A positive approach can help set the tone for the whole process and make it easier to work with the local inspector.

  • Work with the inspector

    • Inspectors have the power to approve or suggest changes to your building plans. Being friendly and cooperative can help make the process faster and easier, ultimately leading to a quicker approval.

  • Be open to suggestions

    • Inspectors might even help by adding to your drawings on the spot, which can save you time and effort. Being flexible and open to changes can make the whole process smoother.
