Every trade hits a different wall.
The permit set for a restaurant has nothing in common with the one for a solar array — except the clock running on both. Find yours.
General Contractors
Your subs are booked around dates the county has not agreed to yet.
The general contractors wall →Home Builders
You are selling houses that do not exist yet, on settlement dates buyers have already booked movers around.
The home builders wall →Remodelers
Your client is living in the house while you work, and every day the job runs long is a day in someone's living room.
The remodelers wall →Electrical Contractors
A master license is not one filing.
The electrical contractors wall →Plumbing & Gas
The building department is not the only office that has to say yes to your work.
The plumbing & gas wall →Mechanical & HVAC
A boiler dies on a Tuesday in January, and the building stays cold until a permit says the new one can fire.
The mechanical & hvac wall →Restaurants & Food Service
You signed a lease with a date on it, and every week between that date and your first cover is rent against no revenue.
The restaurants & food service wall →Retail
The prototype does not change at the county line.
The retail wall →Offices & Tenant Fit-Out
The work letter set your date and the base building set your conditions; the permit sits between them.
The offices & tenant fit-out wall →Signs
Your brand standard was drawn for a wall, not for a frontage allowance, and the county measures the difference in square feet.
The signs wall →Solar & Energy
The customer counts the day the panels went up as the finish line.
The solar & energy wall →Telecom & Utilities
Your build crosses municipal lines that mean nothing to the fiber and everything to the permit.
The telecom & utilities wall →Developers & Owners
The entitlement is approved and the loan is drawing.
The developers & owners wall →Architects & Engineers
Your fee stopped at the permit set, and the comment letters keep coming.
The architects & engineers wall →Property Managers
Nobody gets a letter when a rental license lapses.
The property managers wall →Talk to a permit specialist
