Question
What is the next step after the city building dept. issued a construction permit?
The contractor will be notify and construction begins? Or does architect have to
issue another set of drawings marked "for construction"?
Answer
Hello Siuling:
I'm not sure of the context of your question. It sounds as if the architect prepared drawings marked 'for permit review only', and the permit process was completed successfully.
This is not uncommon; it allows the architect to continue working on any small items that need further refinement, which might not be directly related to code compliance.
If this is the case, then yes, the next step would be for the architect to issue the finally complete documents 'for construction'. And then to get underway. The building inspector should also be given a copy of the 'for construction' drawings, as well as being advised of any significant changes made. The same is true for the construction period: keep the building inspector advised of any changes made of any significance, and issue the inspector a set of 'as built' drawings at the end of the project.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
PB
