Construction Documents in the Building Permit Process 

The documentation that needs to be submitted as part of the permit process can vary greatly depending on the type of project you’re planning and which kind of permit you’re pulling. For example, if you are pulling a permit to do some plumbing work, it may be as simple as listing the fixtures you are adding. On the other hand, if you are building an addition on your house or installing a shop, then a site plan would be required to show the location of your structure, plans on how you propose to build it, details of how different elements might tie together and even footing and beam calculations.
Here I talk about the steps needed to keep my permit process moving forward, what big mistake not to make, as well as some additional information on the different documentation out there that might show up as a requirement.
