How long does a building permit take?
This is a question we get asked ALL the time. 90% of our remodeling projects require a county or city-approved building permit. Because of this, we are unable to start on a project before the building permit is approved!
A natural question we get every single time is: how long is this thing going to take!?
In this video, Brad Bachand explains how long the permitting/planning process takes in the way Home Love Construction does it.
