The official government approval required before construction can legally begin.
A building permit is an official approval issued by a local government authority that authorizes construction, alteration, demolition, or repair of a building or structure. The permit process ensures that work complies with adopted building codes, zoning ordinances, and health and safety regulations. A permit is required before work begins and is closed out through inspections that verify code compliance.
The building permit was issued six weeks after plan check approval, and the GC posted it visibly at the job site entry.
