When you build on or change your property you need to have a permit to do so. Check with your home owners association, or your city office. If you are making improvement to a home you want that documented anyway as it helps with property values.

Generally installing french drains does not require a permit. If you are adding on to your house then a permit would be required.

What is the building permit?

A building permit is issued to construct almost any building or structure in most cities and counties. It is issued once the plan for the construction has been reviewed for safety per the international building safety codes. The fee paid for the permit is calculated as the average cost of the plan review and the on-site inspections which are done at designated intervals during construction, culminating in a final inspection that approves use or occupancy. Reviews and inspections are conducted by certified professionals acting under a Building Official. Permits are a fee for the services not a tax on an activity. Most real estate transactions require proof of permitted and inspected work - thus the permit is connected to intrinsic value. Design professionals and contractors rely on review and inspections as part of any project; quality, workmanship, and safety are a three-legged stool of modern construction. However, building codes date to ancient times where consequences for poor construction were direct - if someone was injured or died, the builder would be subjected to the same fate! If a contractor suggests that there is no need for permits they, more likely than not, are cutting corners on the project, unqualified, unlicensed, or all of these. As part of permit review most jurisdictions check contractor licenses. In addition, the review also includes a review of the site to insure proper placement and availability of services such as water and sewer. For more information, contact your local building safety department's Building Official.


Is every construction project unique?

Yes and no (mostly yes). Every construction project is unique in that no two projects ever can be exactly alike. Even things like the weather can drastically change two identical projects. Many construction projects are alike in several areas. Frequently, the permit process is exactly the same for two different projects -- sometimes the only thing that changes is the location.


What is the use of interlocking pavers?

Pavers may be employed in any climate and might be walked on immediately upon compaction.Cracking, that is common with ancient asphalt and concrete pavements, isn't a difficulty with these interlocking concrete pavers as a result of the joints between the pavers.Interlocking concrete pavers are a versatile system and permit for movement.They're nearly indestructible as a result of the pavement system moves in unison with the earth's tendency to swell and contract over time, so avoiding any serious injury.


What is the average cost per square foot to build a house in San Francisco Bay Area?

I'm an architect and have projects in the Berkeley, Marin and San Francisco areas. Three crucial determinants are slope, access, and available utilities. If you have a somewhat flat lot with utilities available from the street and good access, you can get your price down to $275-$325 per square foot. This assumes the most minimal of finishes (be prepared to paint and nail in molding) and you on your own for appliance budget. This does not include permit fees, structural or architectural fees or other zoning variances/fees imposed by the City or County, or your initial fees in purchasing the lot.

How can an American get a property management job in Switzerland?

First you have to learn the local language, or you will not be able to talk to your colleagues or customers. Which language that is (German, French or Italian) depends on where in Switzerland you want to live. Then you need a work permit. But before that you need a job offer. As Americans (from anywhere in north or South America) are NOT EU citizens, you can only get a work permit if a company needs you and applies for the work permit on your behalf.
