What to understand about building permits

Permits and preliminary reviews are part of construction planning. Required documentation can vary according to project type, location, municipality, intended use and the scope of the proposed work.

Organizing technical information clearly can reduce corrections and improve coordination between owners, architects, engineers and other professionals involved in preparing the project documentation.

Points to evaluate

  • Identify the authority or municipality responsible for the project location.
  • Define the scope of the work before preparing the documentation.
  • Coordinate drawings and documents between the different disciplines.
  • Confirm current requirements before submitting documents or beginning work.
