Thinking Of Albuquerque Building Permit Application? Simple Steps To Follow

By Pamela Bennett


If you have made plans to build a house or structure, you must apply for permits. Permits give you the legal permission to begin the construction project in accordance with the approved specifications and drawings. Construction permits are required whenever you are thinking of constructing, altering, enlarging, repairing, improving, removing, converting, or demolishing any structure or construction. This is one of the most intimidating aspects of constructing a house. To help you through this procedure, the article outlines some simple steps that you need to follow during the Albuquerque building permit application process.

As soon as you make the decision to apply for the permits, you should visit the local department offices to get more information. It is important that you describe your project in detail so that you can be issued with a list of those things that are required during this process. There is a form that must be completed in full and signed by the applicants which you will be issued with.

At this point, you should begin preparation for applying for the permits. In most of the construction projects, you will be required to submit documents such as the drawings and sketches of the project that you plan to undertake. If you are remodeling your house, you must submit a detailed plan outlining the proposed changes. You will then submit the completed forms and pay whatever fee is required.

After you have submitted the documents, your local department will take some time to review them to determine if your project has complied with the local requirements. Depending on the nature of the project, several departments could be involved in the review process. The review will focus on the compliance of the project with the zoning guidelines, construction codes, fire prevention, mechanical plans, and so on.

If the plans satisfy all the local requirements, you will be notified that they have been approved. If not, the officials will provide you with a list of the necessary corrections that need to be made for the review process to be successful. After making the necessary corrections, you will be required to resubmit copies of the revised plans. The recheck of the plans requires less processing time and you will be notified if the plans have been approved.

After you have been issued with the permits, you can begin the construction project. However, you need to be aware of the fact that there will be regular on-site inspections to ensure that the construction project conforms to the local requirements and plans. The local officials will inspect the project as the work progresses and will issue you with an inspection record card after each visit. You must have the approved plans and the inspection card during every inspection.

After the construction project is completed, you will no longer be required to display the construction permits on your project. The local officials will perform the final review to determine if the entire project has complied with the local codes. You will be provided with a document to show that the construction project meets the safety standards.

If you are considering constructing or remodeling your house, you should contact the local department to apply for the construction permits. The process is very simple and all that you need to do is to follow the above steps.
