Permits and Plan Checking Are Not A Problem

RWT Design & Construction

Here at RWT Design & Construction permits and plan checking are easy!  Most people are worried about this process because they think it will be long and costly.  The truth is it is good to have those extra set of eyes on your project, it is their job to ensure nothing was missed or nothing was done substandard and everything was up to code.  We work closely with the city inspector and plan checker while working on our projects.  We have a very good rapport with them.  Years of work well done doesn't go unnoticed. We are known for doing our jobs the right way the first time! 

A good thing for home owners to know regarding permits and substandard work is when you want to sell your home there is a whole process you go through.  You get a realtor to help you get potential buyers.  Once you reel in a potential buyer there is still a laundry list of things needed to get done before the deal is done.  One of those things is the potential buyer will get an inspector to check the entire property to look for any problems with the house.  If there is any un-permitted/substandard work done the buyers will possibly either back out because of the liability of the un-permitted/substandard work done or the asking price of the house will have to be renegotiated because of the liability of the substandard/un-permitted work.  So basically, the worth of your house will only increase with permitted/standard work done on your home whether  an addition or remodel.  So it really does pay to do things right the first time.

Here is what a recent home owner said about our work:

 

"We had heard many horror stories from our friends and family about city inspectors and the permit process so we were worried the whole process would be long and painful.  But it was all so easy with RWT.  The inspector even was impressed with the work done and was excited to see the progress on my home.  Romney and his crew were quick and efficient and had excellent workmanship!  I was very impressed with both the work and smoothness with the city inspectors and plan checkers.  My experience was great!

Thank you! And I love my new kitchen and bath!"
