If you are wondering why you are waiting soooo long for your addition or renovation permit to come through there is a very good reason! With the slow down of building permits coming through, building depts. have forced cutbacks on staffing. This means one or two people are looking through the plans to get them through. The plans are also being looked at with a fine toothed comb. The remaining plan reviewers are nervous as well. You think they want to lose their job for a lack of work? Plans are going through slower, rejected more often to keep that pile of paperwork on the desk of the reviewer. It is frustrating to the homeowner who wants the project done as well as the contractor who looks as if the delays are on them!
The fact of the matter is that we have to wait. In good times, because of the inrush of new building and in the not-so good times for reasons above. Give the plan reviwers a break! They are just holding on as we all are. We will make it people! The worst is over and it is uphill from here! Stop moaning and get on the phone and call your clients!
Best of Luck to us All!
