Permitting & inspections · Roofing
Permit in hand before the crew rolls.
The contract is signed but the building permit is still stuck in the AHJ queue. Mobilize without it and the crew earns a stop-work order or failed final.
The reality
Permitting is a queue problem.
Most jurisdictions require a building permit before tear-off, with the contractor license, scope, and sometimes a wind-mitigation or product-approval number attached. Miss the filing or lose the permit in the AHJ queue and the crew either sits idle or works at risk of a stop-work order and a failed final.
The operator owns permitting end to end. It files the application with the correct AHJ, tracks the queue and clears any corrections, then schedules the final inspection against the production calendar and closes the permit — so the crew mobilizes with the permit in hand and every job closes inspected.
