How can I add a closet to a room without a permit?

[Luz Pagan]

Hi BP,

Last week my contractor informed me that he has requested to enlarge one of the rooms in the house, but explained to me that if I add a closet I will end up expending more money than intended.  Here is the situation: When I originally hired him I inform him that I want to enlarge the room, to make it a 3 beds home. He informed me that He will have to hire someone to inspect the septic and pay if need to improve its capacity. This means that I cannot sell the house a 3 beds home. Basically, I am enlarging the room for no reason. The following were some ideas and recommendations I have received:

1. Place a wardrobe instead of a closet.

2. Add a pole and a couple of shelves

Any other ideas?
