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.
What is the difference between estimating and tendering in the construction trade?
The process of cost estimating is working out how much a building or other construction will cost to make. The costs are usually divided into materials and labor costs. Tendering is the process of making a priced offer to construct the building. This is a legally enforcable offer made within the conditions of the tender documentation.
