Looking for a Construction Consultant (?)

[John Seitz]

Hello,

I am rehabbing a house and doing a lot of the work myself. I keep coming across situations where I need an expert who knows local codes so they can tell me what I need to do and then I can do it. I don't know if this is a structural engineer, architect, etc. My inspector tells me he's not there to tell me how to do it, he's just there to make sure I do it right. The city building permit office is hard to get ahold of and they seem annoyed if I ask too many questions (which I get). Who would you recommend I consult with?
